By Andrew L. Seidel

…e paragraph Rep. Raskin quoted at the Summit for Religious Freedom in April 2024—think of what it must have been like to read or hear those words in the bleak winter of December 1776. The American people needed a victory on which to pin the last shreds of their hope. They needed a win. General Washington had Paine’s words read aloud to his soldiers on Christmas night before they crossed the Delaware River and routed the British and Hessians at Tre…

By Hialy Gutierrez

…alse understanding of the world. We must articulate a vision of the world that reflects what it means to be a human being in community. And education can allow us to envision and articulate that vision. So, everyone should have access to that more liberatory education. And it’s possible to fund and resource that access! We know the resources are there, right? They’re just there in the hands of the Robert Mercers and the Charles Kochs of the world….

…here on rising Christian nationalism, both in the US and in Brazil. Given that context, what do you think American readers need to know about this missionary movement?

…rotestant Women and the Consecration of Empire Gale L. Kenny NYU Press Feb, 2024 Indeed, racism and imperialism are such endemic features of conservative Protestantism that, all too often, historians and political analysts alike mistakenly position them in opposition to typically left-leaning ideals like secularism, feminism, and political and social liberalism more broadly.

By Mary E. Hunt

…s off on. This is now one of them. File it under Galatians 6:7, “You reap what you sow.” That shuffling sound you hear is people moving right along as there’s little to see here, little that helps at a brutal time in global history when serious moral reflection is needed. This is not it. The rest of the document, 66 numbered paragraphs, includes an introduction to the notion of human dignity which for the Vatican boils down to Natural Law, and a h…

By Annika Brockschmidt

…ti-immigrant perspective: Import the Third World, become the Third World. That’s what we just saw. This won’t stop Trump. He’ll win the election if he’s not killed first. But it does mark the end of the fairest justice system in the world. Anyone who defends this verdict is a danger to you and your family. Remarks like those by Watters, Bannon, and Carlson serve as a permission structure for possible political violence enacted against anyone on th…

Did Romney Cynically Cite His Mormon Faith for Impeachment Vote as Critics Claim?

By Daniel Schultz

…im even in Utah, a red state where the president is uncommonly unpopular. What that means for his reelection prospects, the senator couldn’t say. (He doesn’t have to face voters again until 2024.) But as he thought about it, another hymn came to mind. “Do what is right; let the consequence follow,” he recited. “And I don’t know what all the consequences will be.” Trump and his defenders got on high pissy-face about that. “I don’t like people who u…

‘The Quiet Damage’ Details the Heartbreaking Effect of QAnon on Five American Families — But Critical Questions Linger

By Susannah Crockford

…ds Q… But Q also Feeds Social Media And, while adherents learn to believe that whatever the mainstream media says is false, Cook does importantly point out that not all of their grievances are illegitimate. Some are quite real, such as endemic anti-Black racism, which meant that Black people were targeted specifically and aggressively by disinformation actors. Cook argues that, as a result of this direct targeting, Black and Hispanic Americans wer…

Reactions to Biden’s Korean-American Secret Service Agent Expose Christian Nationalism’s Anti-Asian Side

…Virus” tweet on March 8. Lab director Graham Brookie observes, “The thing that we can prove pretty consistently is that [politicians] are the main amplifiers [of anti-Chinese rhetoric].” If politicians like Gosar catalyze Sinophobia, their image as Christian warriors sanctifies it. Often, the link between piety and prejudice is explicit, as when Sen. Tom Cotton combines reference to “the China virus” with the benediction, “God bless our brave docs…
