Atheists Ignore Islamophobia at their Peril

By Chris Stedman

…ould decry rhetorical attacks against the nonreligious, but this argument falls flat when many atheists fail to extend that claim to other communities—especially ones facing frequent rhetorical and physical attacks. As a minority community in America’s religious milieu, it makes strategic sense for atheists to ally with Muslims, Sikhs, and others. But as a Humanist atheist, I feel a sense of moral obligation to stand up against identity-based hatr…

…haracterizing Islam as inherently anti-LGBTQ, anti-women, anti-anything, really, falsely collapses the complexity of Islam and Muslims into a conservative anti-American monolith—while letting America off the hook for the very real damage it’s doing to women, LGBTQ people, immigrants, and Muslims every day, and with increased urgency during our nation’s public health crisis.

…he entire canon of Mormon texts. Billed as “the perfect companion to your Halal digital lifestyle,” iSalat allows Muslim users to calculate the proper prayer times, wherever they may travel. One of the many available Jewish scripture apps, iTalmud gives the user access to the entire Babylonian Talmud in the original Gemaric Aramaic and Hebrew.

Gay Chutzpah: An LGBT Synagogue Thrives

By Susan Henking

…d its impact on you? Moshe Shokeid: Twenty years later I observe a new social reality. Gay life in the United States and other Western countries has been transformed in public life to the extent of becoming almost “mainstream.” Lesbians and gays have come out and are fully accepted in leading social, political and cultural positions. The stigma that engulfed homosexuality also in academic circles evaporated—programs of Lesbian and Gay studies as w…

Crowdsourced Catholicism: New iPhone App Lets Users Forgive Sins

By Vincent Gonzalez

…s and louts more credits can be purchased for 17¢ apiece. As with fancy chemical aids for our Facebook farms, this money goes straight to the developers. The users deal instead in an economy of social prestige. With each accepted penance, Saints climb in office from Bishop, to Archbishop, to Cardinal, and finally to Holy Father/Mother of the Church, the cost of directly requesting their absolution increasing at each step. To convert Halos to dolla…

Telling the World a ‘Big Story’: RD in Conversation with Karen Armstrong

By Laurie Patton

…in a sense, and it is easier to get them to talk to each other. But the real challenge is when you might try to get liberals and fundamentalists from the same tradition to talk to each other. That seems to be the challenge of the twenty-first century. Have you ever seen a common language, or a sense of the common good develop between a fundamentalist group and a liberal group of the same tradition? I haven’t really seen it with my own eyes. Extre…

…more are popping up every day. “You can probably associate it with Elder Ballard’s call to blog, but you have to also understand that, well, we’re Mormons. We love to keep records!” said Emily Jensen, who blogs about Mormon blogs for the Mormon Times, a newspaper based in Salt Lake City. There are thousands—perhaps even tens of thousands—of blogs that are written by Mormons or link directly to the LDS church, she said. The first wave was the “Mor…

…aving nothing to hide rarely identify as racial, political, gender, or sexual minorities. The Loving Counter-Obedience of Whistleblowing At the same time, we know that graphic photos and videos, distributed widely through electronic media, can call us instead to reconsider and reject oppressive social norms. The televised images of civil rights marchers attacked by dogs and fire hoses made the kind of gut-level impact that an op-ed could not have…

Tim Tebow, Protestant Saint

By Sean S. O'Neil

…crescendo of Bronco praise: “Tebow! Tebow!” Yesterday, against the hapless Miami Dolphins who were 0 and 5 going into the game, Tebow started and spent three quarters playing the before role in the saint narrative. Throwing errant passes, misreading defensive coverage, and threatening to leave the Broncos with their first scoreless game since 1992, he looked weak and bewildered. With a little over two minutes left, all heaven broke loose. In myths…
