From Shofars to Hammers: The Spiritual Warriors of MAGA are ‘ReAwakening’ to Political Violence

By Mark Clatterbuck

…the dominant brand of today’s Republican Party. For good reason, a growing number of expert observers have begun sounding the alarm. I suggest it’s time we hit the panic button. The rally featured plenty of repugnant elements—from the relentless attacks on transgender youth consistent with fascist scapegoating, to the steady drumbeat of election fraud claims, to accusations that Dr. Fauci engineered Covid-19 in a Chinese lab to help a demonic caba…

The March for Life: Grassroots Movement or Agitprop?

By Patricia Miller

…for Life President Jeanne Mancini told the Times: I don’t think that these numbers are the most important. The number most important for us is 58 million, which is the number of Americans that have been lost to abortion. But either they have the numbers or they don’t. And if they don’t, maybe the media should take a hard look at how it covers a predictable, lightly attended act of agitprop which claims to represent hundreds of thousands of people…

The Higher the Dome, The Closer to God: “Megachurches” Explores the Arid Architecture of America’s New Sanctuaries

By Anita Little

…us. The people I came into contact with while shooting the images were all super friendly and excited about the project when I explained what I was doing. People I know who were raised in the church, but have since turned against it, were totally freaked out by it. They found it creepy. But in terms of actual religious people, I haven’t seen that much reaction yet or had those conversations. Are you religious? I’m Catholic. I don’t have a lot of e…

QAnon Didn’t Just Spring Forth From the Void — It’s the Latest From a Familiar Movement

By Adam Willems

…dred percent. And the thing is, because Trump is in many ways being run by super far-right conservative Christians, it’s made space in this administration and in several branches of government for folks who really do subscribe to these apocalyptic, bifurcated us-versus-them, good-versus-evil, views. This is why you’ve got people, and again in front of the entire country, casting out demons, and preventing against demonic pregnancies. And Pompeo en…

Rick Santorum Figures Out the Feminist Plot to Create “Phony” Abortion Exceptions

By Sarah Morice-Brubaker

…has taken a brave stand. Frankly, I’m tempted to ask you your position on super-duper-extra-long bills, sir, and to ask why you want to confuse the American people with your love of razzle-dazzle legalese. Perhaps we can talk about that another time.) But the point is: All of these things — the frightened families, the individual circumstances that would be impossible to codify in law, the desperately-wanted pregnancy that becomes a living hell,…

By Michael J. Altman

…vist Randall Terry is planning to air graphic anti-abortion ads during the Super Bowl. Meanwhile, FOX has rejected a Super Bowl ad from an online store named “Jesus Hates Obama.” Was Mark Twain anti-Christian? Philip Yancey, an Evangelical writer popular among conservative Christians, will speak at the Gay Christian Network’s conference this year. Michael Youseff, a leader on the religious right, declared that the Episcopal Church is not Christian…

Does the Right Even Know Why it’s so Threatened by Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce?

By Mary Rambaran-Olm

…’s love-life, I can confirm that she’s dating a tight, uhh, end—three-time Super Bowl champion Travis Kelce. This is very important news because after colonization and committing war crimes, the US’s favorite pastime is football (or “hand-egg” if you’re reading from anywhere in Europe, Africa, Asia or South America). Kelce is considered “one of the greatest tight ends of all time,” which may or may not be true because that information is from Wiki…

Repurposing the Gospel Aura: Eminem’s Chrysler Ad Borrows Some Spirit

By Douglas Harrison

…r the salvation of freedom in the Civil Rights era. And then there are any number of other mainstream movies that in one fashion or another use the crossover hit, “Oh Happy Day,” what one reader at my blog aptly suggested could be retitled “the only black gospel song Hollywood knows.” For only one of the most recent examples of this phenomenon, see Disney’s Secretariat (2010), in which a montage overlaid with a black gospel choir singing “Oh Happy…

Santorum from the Religion Angle

By Sarah Posner

…s liberty: “Religious liberty is now trumped because we have now created a super-right,” he said. “We have a right the Constitution of religious liberty but now the courts have created a super-right that’s above a right that’s actually in the Constitution, and that’s of sexual liberty. And I think that’s a wrong, that’s a destructive element.” This statement, of course, is wrong as a matter of fact, and reflects a bizarre misinterpretation of cons…

Dumbest Interview About Islam of All Time

By Sarah Posner

…at are in some of the countries over in the Middle East, just blowing up a super market with not even soldiers, just people, when 250 people die in a super market that are shopping, where people die in a store or in a street. There’s a lot of hatred there that’s some place. Now I don’t know if that’s from the Koran. I don’t know if that’s from some place else. But there’s tremendous hatred out there that I’ve never seen anything like it. So, you h…
