Sacred Texting: When Religious Writ Gets Wired

By Rachel Wagner

…rity, what should people believe? Today’s Christians must decide for themselves which texts “should” have been included in the New Testament and why, and they must do so with limited information about the history and context in which these texts were composed. The implications of such explorations are obvious: Given the competing accounts available both in the New Testament and in other ancient Christian texts, how do Christians know what Jesus re…

Cherry-Picking in the God Gap: A Post-Election Conversation on the Religious Vote and the Battle to Spin it

By Daniel Schultz and Chrissy Stroop

Exit polls are even more suspect this year than they usually are, but few pundits have been dissuaded from drawing conclusions and whipping out megaphones to share them. Yes, even RD has a mote in its eye on this account. Maybe even a beam. Regardless, two of RD’s staff writers recently engaged in a socially distant conversation to discuss the data we’ve gotten so far and what it tells us about the 2020 election. While numerous parties—many of wh…

Pretty Girls Like Trap Church: A Movement at 2 Chainz’s Atlanta Pink House

By Anita Little

…the crowd of attendees, mostly black Atlanta professionals, to become involved in local organizations such as Street Groomers, Black Lives Matter Atlanta and Housing Justice League. Though the Pink Trap House is no more, in its ephemerality, the space drew attention to social issues and questions of divine justice that one wouldn’t expect from a low-pitched, bungalow-style house in the industrial West Midtown neighborhood of Atlanta. The house wa…

Why Drew Brees Was Right

By Johnathan Richardson

…Malcom X explained why he believed that white liberals, who, “[sell] themselves to the Negro as a friend of the Negro” were more dangerous than the white conservative: “The white conservatives aren’t friends of the Negro either, but they at least don’t try to hide it. They are like wolves; they show their teeth in a snarl that keeps the Negro always aware of where he stands with them. But the white liberals are foxes, who also show their teeth to…

Marjorie Taylor Greene’s Red/Blue ‘National Divorce’ Looks an Awful Lot Like a Confederate Flag

By Thomas Lecaque and Joshua Call

There is nothing quite like the fresh hell of Marjorie Taylor Greene’s Twitter account, wondering on a daily basis what the most erratic far-right member of congress will scream out into the void. And on Presidents’ Day, she tweeted this: https://twitter.com/mtgreenee/status/1627665203398688768?s=20 We need a national divorce. We need to separate by red states and blue states and shrink the federal government. Everyone I talk to says this. From t…

Connected to groups like Church Militant, The Remnant and other rad-trad Catholic groups, the conference has been a venue for Steve Bannon, QAnon-linked Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganó, and others to rail against Pope Francis, “globalists” (i.e. “Jews”), and “the New World Order.” The original title for this year’s event, “The Crusade Has Been Called: The Kingship of…

Behind the Inclusive-Sounding Ads of this $100 Million PR-Blitz-for-Jesus it’s the Same Old Conservative Christian Fantasy

By Chrissy Stroop

This month, a $100 million advertising campaign and website have been launched nationwide to help a particular figure rebrand. In the current climate, just who, do you think, might warrant such a massive PR blitz? My own answer would be “no one,” because this kind of spending to prop up the reputations of the already highly privileged strikes me as one of the more disgusting excesses of capitalism. But whether or not you share my convictions, I’m…

The ‘Fake Christian’ Deflection and Contrarian Concern Trolling: How Not to Write about Evangelical Authoritarianism

By Chrissy Stroop

…d insightful analysis of evangelicalism seem at times unable to keep themselves from editorializing with prescriptive theology. More and less nuanced commentators alike have a habit of opining that white evangelicals’ majority anti-immigrant and anti-refugee stance contradicts Jesus’s statement about welcoming the stranger in Matthew 25 instead of considering how illiberal evangelicals interpret the Bible to support their nationalist politics. The…

Less for Moore? If Russell Moore Left the SBC Due to Conscience and Convictions His Next Move Is a Curious One

By Chrissy Stroop

…ved Russell Moore would do the right thing (he might, but it would not absolve him of his overall sexism and homophobia), but because survivors and specifically survivors of SGM abuse deserve better and deserve to not be forgotten.” She also told RD, “I’ve not received any follow-up communication from the church so far. I’m planning on reaching out myself with a letter but haven’t done so yet. I don’t have current plans to show back up physically,…
