…in 2020 appears on the cover of the paperback edition that came out in June 2021. In my review, I called Jesus and John Wayne “a book that America needs now,” a statement I stand by, and the one that appears on the cover of the paperback—a choice made neither by myself nor by Du Mez.

They’re employing a trial strategy to…

By Robert P. Jones

…erge now? According to a study by The Brookings Institution, as of November 2021, 9 states had passed and 20 states had introduced bills that are being promoted as banning CRT. Part of the answer lies in the unique cultural moment we are inhabiting as a country. As I argued in my 2016 book, The End of White Christian America, the visceral nature of today’s white conservative politics is driven by its desperate need for new mechanisms for ensuring…

What Can a Real Life Haunting Tell Us About American Religion? [Updated]

By Daniel Wise

By Serene Jones

…rt network for former president Trump. Nearly one year ago, on January 6th, 2021, this growing religious and political extremism manifested itself in an unthinkable way.

A man in a fur hat and horns—now infamously known as the QAnon Shaman or Q-Sham…

By Susannah Crockford

…her day. Of course, the greatest consequences of the insurrection on Jan 6, 2021, in Washington DC, were felt by the five who died, and their loved ones who remain.
