By Andrew L. Seidel

…Orwellian and milquetoast. The group has published several versions of playbooks containing sample laws for state legislators, one of which is the model for the In God We Trust display law. Since the rise of Project Blitz in 2017, 11 states have passed these bills (AL, AR, AZ, FL, IN, KY, LA, SC, SD, TN, and TX). Several other states had randomly passed such laws in the past, like Utah in the early 90s, while Texas had a permissive display law dat…

Coronavirus Exposes the Religious Right’s Racism

By Samuel L. Perry, Andrew L. Whitehead and Joseph O. Baker

…by Liberty’s newspaper as a “modern think tank set to renew and defend God-given freedoms and Christian principles throughout American politics and culture.” That an ambassador of Christian nationalism like Kirk would hold xenophobic attitudes should be no surprise. In Taking America Back for God, we show that such views are fundamental to the Christian nationalist framework. One of the most consistent findings in research on Christian nationalis…

Tennessee Anti-Evolution Update

By Lauri Lebo

…lace 86 years ago in his state. “…[T]oday’s evolutionary scientists have become the modern-day equivalents of those who tried to silence Rhea County schoolteacher John Scopes for teaching evolution in 1925, by limiting even an objective discussion of the scientific strengths and weaknesses of evolutionary theory,” Fowler wrote last month in an op–ed in the Chattanoogan. But “strengths and weaknesses” are merely code words to try to water down the…

Anti-Science Bill Passes Tennessee House

By Lauri Lebo

…ility towards science and education. Andy Sher writing for the Chattanooga Free Press, quotes bill-supporter Rep. Richard Floyd, R-Chattanooga, saying that “since the late ‘50s, early ‘60s when we let the intellectual bullies hijack our education system, we’ve been on a slippery slope.” Floyd sounds as if he’s been listening to Texas Board of Education Don McLeroy, who, in arguing for creationist language in public school textbooks, said, “Someone…

Post-Orlando, Trump Reveals His Soul

By Daniel Schultz

…turn on definitions of strength. Can America find strength in Trump’s alpha-male style? Or is it better to trust in Hillary Clinton’s less-showy connectional leadership? It’s a decent lens for understanding the 2016 narrative. We’ll make the decision between the different visions of strength soon enough, and I suspect largely along gender lines. Or perhaps along religious lines. Check out this sample of what Trump has been saying since the massacr…

What the National Council of Churches Should Say About Financial Reform

By Daniel Schultz

…them to scripture: Dear Mr. President & Congress: You may have heard of a book of the Bible called “Exodus.” Here is a sample passage: Afterward Moses and Aaron went to Pharaoh and said, “This is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says: ‘Let my people go, so that they may hold a festival to me in the desert.’ “ Pharaoh said, “Who is the LORD, that I should obey him and let Israel go? I do not know the LORD and I will not let Israel go.” Then they…

Eclipseville, USA: The Birthplace of ‘Little Green Men’ Proudly Hosts The Point of Greatest Eclipse

By Matthew Bowman

…ception. While Hopkinsville’s boosters promise that the town has enough bed-and-breakfasts and cell phone towers to transform the eclipse into a comfortable tourist experience, there is a fundamental strangeness to the whole affair that no amount of merchandizing can fully defang. That it’s hard to reduce the weirdness of things like the eclipse hasn’t stopped Hopkinsville from trying. More than a half-century ago, on Monday, August 22, 1955, news…

Is It OK To Use a Cellphone in Church? Pew Surveys the New Etiquette

By Michael Schulson

…t of cultural criticism about internet and cellphone use, and also reams of hard data, there’s not as much ethnographic work. There’s not that much in-depth, person-to-person reporting, either. Survey questions are good to have. But sometimes you have to dig deeper….

Saving Teens from Obama: When Bible Study Goes Wrong

By Vyckie Garrison

…ust one of many. As we kept talking, it became clear that we didn’t see eye-to-eye on much of anything. While I saw the showing of this film as indoctrination, tying political propaganda to a Bible study lesson, Miranda argued it was appropriate, since “America is one nation under God.” While Miranda suspected that all news media was biased, portraying believers as ignorant and out of touch, I recognized a persecution complex I used to share. When…

Mars Hill May Be Disbanding, But Big Questions Remain

By Becky Garrison

…co-founded in 1996, on October 31, 2014 a notice appeared on the church’s website announcing that they’re essentially disbanding and that the campus locations will merge, become autonomous churches, or cease operation. Already two locations (Bellevue and Spokane) have filed the necessary paperwork with the WA Secretary of State (SOS) to become incorporated as separate entities. But even though they announced their plans to dissolve Mars Hill LLC,…
