…urprised to see some unusually accurate takes on white evangelicals in the New York Times lately, so maybe we’re starting to experience a slight shift? Maybe plugging away at media criticism does ultimately have at least a little impact?

…rtist ministry says, “that just wouldn’t fly in a post-Christian city like New York.” At Pete’s Candy Store, the bar where Revolution holds its Sunday evening services, Bakker tries to build not just a solid community—through a deep commitment to fighting social injustices, for example—but an egalitarian one as well. He doesn’t want to command all of the attention, and he doesn’t want to be the hand-shaking, holier-than-thou pastor seen at many ev…

By Michael J. Altman

…side a Hindu home adjoining a temple in the Bronx. While in West Sayville, New York an Indian Christian parade draws interest from the surrounding community. The St. Mary Malankara Indian Orthodox Church’s Assumption Day Parade is an annual favorite for the neighborhood. Keith Olberman found the Aqua Buddha. How did Fox News let him scoop them on that? It seems the happiest countries in the world are also the least religious. In Illinois, one athe…
