The Subway Sandwich Artist Argument; When “Religious Freedom” Isn’t About Religious Freedom

By Patrick Hornbeck

…ld the expressive freedom of individuals, especially artists, applying the free-speech guarantee of the First Amendment not only to the written word but also to paintings, films, music, and even public parades. It has likewise protected the freedom of expressive conduct, even such potentially offensive conduct as burning the American flag. And the Court has held that just as individuals have the freedom to speak and express themselves, they also h…

Conservatives Stand Together for Anti-Gay Bigotry

By Sarah Posner

…l-meaning people can disagree. Bringing it up again, and involving so many high-profile Republicans, invites new and probably enhanced scrutiny of the rhetoric and actions which drew the SPLC’s attention in the first place. And even if you believe the SPLC hate group designation to be a useless or even insidious endeavor, drawing a deeper look at the belief system of anti-gay zealots is a good thing. Though perhaps it wasn’t the SPLC that did that…

By Patricia Miller

…Twitter that he helped Cardinal Timothy Dolan with his recent paean to free-market capitalism in the Wall Street Journal (note to Mr. Kudlow, there is a reason they call it “ghostwriting”): I worked w/ @CardinalDolan on this @WSJopinion op-ed. It does strike balance.

Unnatural Disaster: When Conservative Theology & The Free Market Meet Wildfires

By Paul Harvey

…y of Colorado, Colorado Springs as a sudden sustained gust of up to 65 mile-per-hour wind pushed a worrisome but contained fire in the hills below Pike’s Peak eastward. As I looked on from a distance, feeling the day’s record-setting 101 degree heat, the fire exploded over the rim of the hills, and raced down toward the residential areas in the foothills of the Northwest quadrant of Colorado Springs. By the time I left a few minutes later, the cam…

The End of Roe and the Assault on Trans People — Fail to See the Bigger Picture and We’ll Never Be Free

By Jacqui Lewis

…e arrested Lizelle Herrera and charged her with murder for an alleged “self-induced-abortion.” These violations are part of the same story: An effort by white evangelical Christians to fashion their articles of faith into law. This week’s leaked Supreme Court decision to overturn Roe v. Wade is grotesque and violent, but it’s also part of a broader campaign to deny people’s right to bodily autonomy. Until we fully grapple with that truth, we both…

It’s Only a Game: How Not to Think about Video Game Violence

By Joanna Brooks

…ce Stephen Breyer asked, “What sense does it make to forbid selling to a 13-year-old boy a magazine with an image of a nude woman, while protecting the sale to that 13-year-old of an interactive video game in which he actively, but virtually, binds and gags the woman, then tortures and kills her?” Drawing a parallel between violent video games and porn—both forms of representation that, critics argue, defy easy classification as First Amendment pr…

…igious liberty” playbook, the American Civil Liberties Union has filed a 38-page complaint contending that Trump’s travel ban targeting seven Muslim-majority nations was “motivated by animus toward Muslims and expressly discriminates on the basis of national origin,” violating core constitutional principles—and, crucially, the Religious Freedom Restoration Act.

So You Think You Can Dance, Or At Least Lead A Populist Moral Movement

By Daniel Schultz

…to satisfy me on the religious left. In answer, I have a rather simple, two-part test for the effectiveness of a political movement: Can it attract coordinated national participation that is broad-based and involves people beyond those pre-disposed to support it? Can it be effective in partisan politics? That is to say, can it help enact legislation, change policy, or elect or defeat elected officials? Jack Jenkins of ThinkProgress and I have a fr…

How a Mormon Spring Break Ritual Came to Include a Whole Lot of “Hare Krishna, Hare Rama”

By Spencer Dew

…rue nature of the self—is, Das argues, not doctrine, not “religion” in the commonly used sense. As he compares himself to Mormon missionaries, he points to some parallel with Mormonism’s founding prophet, Joseph Smith, saying that he surely did not “come to start Mormonism” but “to break down the walls” of hypocrisy and exclusivity. “A lover of God is… inclusive,” Das insists, which is why Krishna descended, “to kill the hypocrites,” to liberate h…

Salvation, Purity, and Right Wing Activism: A Sampling of What Taxpayers Will Be Forced to Support as a Result of Carson v. Makin SCOTUS Ruling

By Chrissy Stroop

…hasize that my Christian school experience was far from the worst. Some fly-by-night church schools don’t prepare graduates for life in the real world at all. Many are much more fundamentalist in their approach than the one I graduated from. For example, while my school encouraged students to volunteer at Billy Graham’s 1999 crusade in Indianapolis, a friend from my church youth group who went to another local Christian school told me that her sch…
