What the Numbers Don’t Tell Us: Religion Is a Lived, Shifting Experience

By Kaya Oakes

…ar. An interesting point that many of the people I interviewed for my forthcoming book made is that they see themselves as “picky”— because they may choose and combine bits and pieces from many religious traditions but adhere strictly to no single one, they are practicing a new kind of religion, one which we might loosely call “DIY.” But is pickiness really the reason why Christianity—and Catholicism in particular—is on the decline in America? Per…

You Asked For It

By Amina Wadud

…e often in this blog so I certainly agree with LW. We are making more women-friendly-mosques; even here in the west. I am happy about that and about those places with women-only mosques, including mu’adhan and imamahs, like China and India. Some countries have fewer restrictions, like Indonesia. It is so good to be in places like this because when it is suppose to be for the worship of Allah then, how is that man can get in the way? But we know th…

RDGenerations: Religion in the Academy

By Lucia Hulsether

…Belt than in most other places. How do you deal with this? For example, my New Testament class heard a student presentation on “Eschatology and the Kingdom of God….” MH: Will RD readers know what this means? It seems a bit jargony. LH: OK, then, “Biblical teachings about the end of time.” Anyway, the students divided their project into sections on “Past,” “Present,” and “Future.” The first two sections were an overview of orthodox Christian teachi…

But ‘Natural’ is Better, No? ‘How Faith in Nature’s Goodness Leads to Harmful Fads, Unjust Laws, and Flawed Science’

By Andrew Aghapour

…n] really is trying to harmonize with nature, but he also needs to make soy-free chickens for his customers who are demanding soy-free chickens. So he’s feeding them fish meal, which is manifestly unnatural. When I asked him about that he acknowledged that we all have to choose our compromises. In the book you explore a number of social domains—diet, birth control, parenting, economics, alternative medicine—where what’s “natural” is considered to…

Blood and Politics — Christian White Nationalism in the Age of Obama

By Bill Berkowitz

…onalist movement at our own peril.” Fifteen years in the making, Zeskind’s new book Blood and Politics: The History of the White Nationalist Movement from the Margins to the Mainstream is more than a history of the White supremacist movement. While the movement’s Christian roots, antisemitism, and racist beliefs have been dissected over the years, the core religious beliefs of a number of White nationalist movement leaders has received far less at…

McCarthy, Born Again and Retooled for Our Time

By Sarah Posner

…des from Newt Gingrich, the piece was so laden with conspiracy-minded, fact-free speculation that The American Conservative called its premise “simply stupid,” and its conclusion “inexcusably moronic… ideological Birtherism.” D’Souza may maintain that Obama is “trapped in his father’s time machine,” but it was Noebel who seemed frozen in another era. He made D’Souza’s premise, and Tea Party movement warnings of the anti-Americanism of liberals and…

Global Religious Right Asks ‘How Far Can We Get?’; And More in the Global LGBT Recap

By Peter Montgomery

…rcement is unable to bring to justice whoever ordered the killing. … In an open and free society, this chain of events would be cause for alarm: secret torture chambers, runaway authority, intimidation of the press. But Russia is not free, and Mr. Putin hardly seems perturbed. He tolerates brutality and coercion as instruments of state power, deaf to the cries of anguish from its victims. In a commentary for the European Council on Foreign Relatio…

The Economy is Racism: Ending Race-Based Economic Violence is the Real Challenge of This Moment

By Peter Laarman

…a country so thoroughly steeped in the poison of white supremacy. A winner-take-all economy won’t be changed without a power struggle that is, if anything, much more fierce, much more sustained, and (most of all) much more visionary than the 19th century struggle for Abolition. Today’s white allies would do well to recall how their predecessors in the Abolition cause, very much including the “decent” white Christians, completely abandoned African…

Neither The Joker Nor Godlessness Drove Batman Shooting

By Jeffrey Scholes

…and evil, Joker character and philosophy of “anything goes” presents an all-too-appealing alternative way of attaining power and recognition. Westen would no doubt find, in Holmes’ statement to the police, evidence of a copycat crime that discloses a lack of “moral training” in Holmes’ background. This argument is a corollary to the general stance that taking God out of the public square leads to moral relativism, and finally to a Machiavellian po…

Silence of “Religious Liberty” Activists on Muslims’ Cases Not What You Think

By Elizabeth Reiner Platt

…f the stories since December, I found no quotes from any of the typical pro-accommodation sources—conservative politicians, lawyers, commentators and activists. Nor could I find any public reference to the dispute by a single municipal, state, or federal elected official, or from any non-Muslim religious rights organization. Conservative-leaning news sources that covered the stories minimized the employees’ concerns: one reported that the Wisconsi…
