By Gordon D. Newby

…ics (who represent not quite a fourth of the country), but not a single Protestant, though Protestants remain half the nation and our founding faith. If Kagan is confirmed, three of the four justices nominated by Democratic presidents will be from New York City: Kagan from the Upper West Side, Sotomayor from the Bronx, Ruth Bader Ginsburg from Brooklyn. Breyer is from San Francisco. What kind of diversity is this—either in geography or life experi…

The Case for Treating Near-Death Experiences Like Acid Trips

By Andrew Aghapour

…s. I spoke recently with Mitchell-Yellin about the physiology of death, out-of-body denture spotting, and why LSD trips are helpful for thinking about near-death experiences. _______________ Andrew Aghapour: In your book you take on “supernaturalist” accounts of near-death experiences, which emphasize elements of NDE’s that should be physically impossible. Could you tell me more about supernaturalism as a genre? Benjamin Mitchell-Yellin: Supernatu…

Is It Immoral to Believe in Miracles?

By Noah Berlatsky

…erent skeptics out there. Philosopher Larry Shapiro is not among them. His new book, The Miracle Myth, is written in a friendly style, but it is, nonetheless, a very aggressive brief against belief in miracles. “I have no patience for hopers or wishers,” he declares with irritation in the introduction, and his goal is to make those hopers and wishers stop it already with their tedious hoping and wishing. The Miracle Myth: Why Belief in the Resurre…

By Christopher James Blythe

…ce apocalyptic literature, in this case about how some individuals would become immortal before the Second Coming. For the third mission, Chad and Lori were to find “locations in northeast Arizona for white camps.” The idea of “tent cities” or “cities of light” are a common theme in the literature of the Latter-day Saint prophecy subculture. The term “white camps” likely refers to the white tents that are often seen in visions, thoughit might also…

“Mitt Romney Style”—A Virtually Religion Free 2012 Contest?

By Joanna Brooks

…to whether they attend church. Or could it be as well that the late twentieth century LDS effort to push past nineteenth-century stereotypes of Mormons as seditious, duplicitous, and polygamous by constructing ourselves as hyper-patriotic, family-centered, and perfectly conservative have worked? That’s the approach Mitt Romney has taken this year: he’s remade himself into the image of whatever he believed his party wanted. Call it “Mitt Romney S…

“Freedom” vs. “Liberty”: Why Religious Conservatives Have Begun to Favor One Over the Other

By Stephanie Russell-Kraft

…mericans for Liberty during the 2008 presidential campaign. BuzzFeed editor-in-chief Ben Smith picked up on this shift 2014 when he made the case for a reclassification of conservatives into two groups—liberty conservatives and freedom conservatives. “Liberty Conservatives look, first of all, to America’s founding document,” Smith wrote, while “Freedom Conservatives are as likely to look to Lincoln as to the founders, and they may admit to having…

‘Atheizing’ the Dead, Religious Doughnuts, & Tax-Free Witching

By Michael J. Altman

…Body Modification has run into trouble with her school’s dress code. The 14-year-old is looking at a ten day suspension if she returns to school wearing her prohibited nose ring. In Roswell, New Mexico, a group of students have been suspended for giving their teachers boxes of doughnuts with religious messages attached to them. Romania has decided not to tax its witches and fortunetellers. One reason being that the witches and fortunetellers aren’…

Will “Religious Freedom” Be the Issue That Finally Unites the Religious Right?

By Eric C. Miller

…exceptions made it hard to unite with Catholic activists who wanted across-the-board banning of abortion. Also, importantly, Roe did not politicize the LDS Church in the same way that it did several evangelical denominations. Mormon leaders disagreed with the Supreme Court’s ruling, but they limited their response to reminding church members that abortion was a personal sin to avoid rather than mounting a political movement to overturn the ruling…

Islam, Essential to America?

By Scott Korb

…m that was the precursor to the school, Zaytuna College, the subject of my new book. He’d talked about the inspiring teachers he’d studied with—Imam Zaid Shakir, in particular, a convert who’s been favorably compared with Malcolm X, Shakir’s own hero. The long and short of it is that when Ebad brought me the Forbes article and suggested we discuss it in class, I didn’t feel properly equipped to deal with it. In Varadarajan, I had a fellow teacher…

Do Make Trouble: The Complex World of Radical Jewish ‘Revenge Theologian,’ Meir Kahane

By Shane Burley

…ll prevent Jews from being harmed by it. And I think there’s a real sleight-of-hand going on in the contemporary discussion of antisemitism that’s not willing to admit Kahane’s view (which was not only his view, but the view of others as well). Part of the question I have on the writings about contemporary antisemitism is what’s really going on? What’s this actually all about? Many have written about it; for example, Hannah Arendt and contemporary…
