The Double Blessing: Obama, the Bible, and Outreach to Muslims

By Charlotte Gordon

…the women; in this case, the pivotal woman in the story. “Your son will be free,” God told her, “He will build a great nation. His name will be God-hears, or Ishmael.” This oversight has cost both sides bitterly. By focusing on the covenantal agreement between God and Abraham, both Muslims and Jews have lost sight of God’s inclusivity. As a result, for thousands of years the sons of Isaac have viewed the sons of Ishmael as potential enemies, and v…

Well, the Harris-Trump Debate Happened — Now Enjoy Your Freedom and Choose Wisely

By Mary Rambaran-Olm

…n’s bodily autonomy was emphasized, but as the saying goes “none of us are free until all of us are free.” It begs the question as to which women’s rights matter when US imperialism is responsible for dropping bombs on countries where women are using tent cloth as menstrual products because they’re displaced and don’t have access to what should be basic hygiene products or basic anesthetic during childbirth. There was little talk about the details…

How Far Will White Christians Go to Maintain Power? An Interview with Robert Jones

By Peter Laarman

…hristians have merely been paying lip service to democratic principles and free elections, or whether they really believe in those principles and norms now that white Christians have become a demographic minority. This is all quite new—this reality of not being a majority white Christian country. We’ve gone from 54% white Christian to just 44% since Obama was first elected, or a drop of about 1% per year. Previous generations of white Christians h…

Republican Lauren Boebert Jokes About AR-15s and Jesus — And Yes, She’s a ‘Real’ Christian

By Chrissy Stroop

…hrist.” She goes on, “We came to Jesus, because we were bound, we were not free. But Jesus paid the ultimate price to set us free for all of eternity.” No, there’s simply no tenable case to be made that Boebert is not a “real” Christian. She is very much a Christian. She is also a terrible person. And if we can’t get it through our heads that it is very possible to be both of those things at the same time, we will never effectively counter the cor…

No “Cancel Culture” on the Right: How Conservative Christians Protect the Powerful

By Chrissy Stroop

…y Today, that his career has not evidently suffered. In his CT cover story promoting his forthcoming book on marriage, Regnerus laments that “the kind of marriage I had in mind [when he started his new research] is no longer hip in the scholarly sphere… Add Christianity to the mix, and you get the holy grail of unfashionable pairings among my peers.” So Regnerus’s peers despise him, the poor snowflake. And yet he has neither been canceled nor has…

You Are More Than Your Brain: A Revolutionary Theory of Consciousness

By John Stoehr

…global resurgence of religion; one that’s being fueled by a fulsome mix of free-market ideology and American-style separation of church and state. Even areas of the globe that previously sanctioned atheism are witnessing the flourishing of religion thanks to harmonizing overtones of 21st-century modernity and faith. As John Micklethwait and Adrian Wooldridge put it in their book God Is Back: How the Global Revival in Faith Is Changing the World: “…

Far-Right Evangelicals And The Campaign Against Obama

By Frank Schaeffer

…ht are the ultimate camp followers. They’re latching onto government for a free ride while decrying it. They want to overthrow the present order from the inside in the name of God. The result is that there are two kinds of far-right evangelicals: the ones who make a public show of their animosity toward the president, accusing him of not being an American citizen, for example. They even say Obama has a secret plan to kill old people within his hea…

‘People You May Know’ Reveals a War on Democracy Being Waged With Big Data

By Chrissy Stroop

…ey very often will have downloadable apps—you might find that your data is free to share with anybody. And of course you’ve signed yourself in, you’ve signed in your children, you’ve shared your vulnerabilities. Charles mentioned mental health, but it’s not just mental health, it’s vulnerabilities in general. After all, as a European, it’s interesting to watch how churches in the States, they fill every need. You have preschool, you have a couple’…

Muslim Beard Decision was a Boost for “Religious Liberty” Advocates

By Kara Loewentheil

…determining whether or not a regulation is actually a burden on someone’s free exercise rights. And because of the way the doctrine works, it’s harder for the government to satisfy the rest of the test once the burden has been established. Part of that low bar is due to the fact that the opinion continues the slippage between the concepts of sincere religious belief and substantial burden that were evident in Hobby Lobby as well. The Court notes…

Soy Story: Atrocious ‘Reporting’ on Insular Religious Groups

By Eli Federman and James Moxness

…sponsibility to present accurate information shouldn’t suffer. While cable news outlets sometimes air nonsensical speculation or rumor-as-news, as was the case with the Boston Bombing, there’s a glaring failure of journalistic integrity when it comes to reporting on obscure religious groups. It’s tempting to believe that insular religious societies are treated by some as a “free pass” from engaging in good journalism. And the line between news, d…
