By Peter Laarman

…n the era of what historian Fraser, in the second half of his Acquiescence book, calls “techno-determinism.” It is a space that is reminding serious organizers that winning structural change is ultimately about understanding power and using power. To be reminded that revolution is still possible is utterly thrilling; to be reminded that making a revolution amounts to hard, grueling, lifelong work is sobering, even terrifying. And what of Sanders h…

By Eric Harrelson and Joseph P. Laycock

…k of all this? It’s impossible to know for certain (at least without a high-quality Ouija board). But the Warrens would probably not have been bothered by this strange conflation of Catholic traditionalism and occult paraphernalia. Despite the Warrens’ constant warnings of the dangers of the occult, they often seemed to contradict their own advice. Lorraine believed she could read auras, see into the past and future, and once said she experienced…

“I Was a Wild Man”: How to Decode Evangelical Testimony

By Eric C. Miller

…, trying to pick up girls and getting high. “I was a wild man. I lived a no-holds-barred lifestyle,” Tchividjian said. “If I believed it would bring me maximum pleasure in the moment, I did it, no matter what it was.” Eventually, he said, he bottomed out. He arrived home late one night, coming down from a high, and literally fell to the floor. “God, I have tried my best to ignore you and to do things my way,” he remembers praying. “I’m broken. I’m…

The Threat to Democracy Runs Deep, But Mathematics Could Address the Abominable State of Representation and Voting

By Ismar Volić

…our 520,000 public officers are elected in mathematically abominable winner-take-all races that cause spoilers and vote-splitting, discourage political diversity, support the duopoly’s iron grip, and encourage negative campaigning. Crowded primary elections elevate fringe candidates who compete in districts that have been gerrymandered into uncompetitive insignificance, with millions of voters (rightfully) feeling like their voice doesn’t matter….

Ayaan Hirsi Ali’s Heretic: With Friends Like These, Who Needs Jihadis?

By Haroon Moghul

…d leave everyone on the planet more vulnerable than before. As we proceed, feel free to remind yourself, as often as necessary, that Harvard’s Belfer Center has appointed Ayaan Hirsi Ali a Fellow in ‘The Future of Diplomacy Project.’ Such peacemaking potential is found in her breakdown of the world’s Muslims into three categories: ‘Medina Muslims,’ who are the neighbors you don’t want; ‘Mecca Muslims,’ the delusional neighbors you’re statistically…

Interfaith: Whose Faith?

By Amina Wadud

…se, includes the dwelling after which it takes its name: a loose structure open to the sky, commemorating the kinds of dwellings the Jews had when banished to wander the desert for 40 years. All meals are taken there, with family and community, and of course special prayers, like invoking the light and peace, are recited. Last night there was also guitar music and songs. After a few stories and a few songs, we broke bread together and the goblet o…

Can Mormon Glenn Beck Unite the Christian Right?

By Kathryn Joyce

…e tax laws encourage large families, and the government encourages a family-and-faith-centered legal system, which repeals “witch-hunting” child abuse laws that restrict parental discipline as well as no-fault divorce; imposes penalties for unmarried cohabitation; and reconfigures Social Security to provide support on a family, rather than individual basis, so that women are recognized not for their work as independent employees but for their role…

Breivik’s Religious Pluralist Vision: A COEXIST Bumper Sticker Without the Crescent

By Michael J. Altman

…an with the violent attacks in Oslo. The full vision of his solution was a new utopian world order, free of Marxism, multiculturalism, and Islam, where the rest of the world’s religions and civilizations could tolerate one another. Breivik believed his actions would usher in a long war that would end with the deportation of Muslims and the eradication of Marxists in Europe. But his vision was bigger than just Europe. He saw a world where every civ…

More Religion in Politics? New Poll’s Findings May Be Overhyped

By Diane Winston

…border—just to name a few. But since most of these issues were also in the news the day before the new Pew survey (and the day before that and the day before that too) it’s hard to see the 300+ articles—proclaiming everything from “Americans fear religion losing influence, say churches should speak out more” to “More Americans want religion in the politics”—as anything more than sociological clickbait. News outlets are playing the culture war card…
