There’s Nothing Wrong with ‘Prayer’; But There’s Every Reason to be Skeptical of Pence’s Coronavirus Prayer Circle

By Chrissy Stroop

…ave done in the past 3 months—is why so many regular Americans despise wine-and-cheese liberals”? For starters, the Coronavirus Task Force is a U.S. government effort. Unless the prayer was entirely without reference to any specific religion—and I’d be happy to take bets on whether or not a Mike Pence prayer was Christian—it is utterly inappropriate. I mean, does anyone seriously think that Graham and George defended Pence assuming that it wasn’t…

Laugh at Tucker Carlson’s Tanning Testicles Doc All You Want, But the Bulging Muscles and Potent Sperm Imagery is a Fascist Dream

By Annika Brockschmidt

…nation with other features and narratives that matters. But what about the testicle-tanning—how does this fit in? Behind the ridiculousness on the surface lies the connection to White Nationalist narratives. In Carlson’s trailer, we see a sperm that fails to penetrate an egg cell. Interpretation isn’t even required here as the narrator’s voice is already doing it for us: “Weak men”—represented here by overt fatphobia—caused societies to collapse….

The ‘Unified Reich’ Scandal is a Feature Not a Bug of Trump’s Brand of American Fascism

By Annika Brockschmidt

…een wronged and betrayed, I am your retribution. And even the various would-be mini-Trumps and their campaigns employed fascist rhetoric, with Ron DeSantis promising to “slit the throats” of “bureaucrats” to rid the imaginary “Deep State” of the Right’s enemies on his first day in office. DeSantis’ campaign even had its own Nazi-scandal, with staffer Nate Hochman posting a video including not only alt-right, incel-manosphere imagery, but an actual…

Breaking Up with God: I Didn’t Lose My Faith, I Left It

By Sarah Sentilles

…fferent audiences in mind. First, of course, I had Oprah in mind. Then the New York Times Book Review critics. But that particular audience was not a good one for me to think about because I would write a sentence and then hear the book review folks critique it or call me whiny or stupid or annoying. I had to stop reading all book reviews while I was writing my book because it stifled my creative process. You can’t write with someone calling you n…

Marriage Vote ‘Transforms’ Not-So-Catholic Ireland; Activist to Malaysian PM – ‘Love Is Not Terrorism’; LGBTs Find Growing Acceptance in Colombia, Not At World Meeting of Families; Global LGBT Recap

By Peter Montgomery

…Ireland became the first to pass the measure in a referendum and with a two-to-one winning margin. “The change has been electric for young gay people,” said Siona Cahill, a gay rights campaigner who works as an equality officer at Maynooth University. “For the first time it has become something that isn’t pushed under the covers,” she said. A spokesman for a national gay youth organization, BelongTo, “saw a doubling of attendance in its Dublin wor…

Did Richard Dawkins Hand Creationists Their Next School Strategy?

By Adam Shapiro

…kin draws on examples ranging from the Flying Spaghetti Monster to standard-but-oversimplified claims that Charles Darwin opposed natural theology to argue that evolution is hostile to religious views. Luskin concludes that the standard applied to ID in Kitzmiller, in which the court used public understanding of its historical origins to rule against it, could also force a court to determine that teaching evolution is itself not religiously neutra…

RDBook: Apocalypse Without God

By Nathan Schneider

…. One of the arguments of the book is that what Luther did for religion vis-à-vis the Catholic Church at the time was to privatize and deregulate and decentralize it. Those three principles, of course, are what eventually becomes neo-liberal economics. The Reformation was a product of and promoted a communications revolution in terms of print. Conservative Protestants have always been the first to understand the significance of new technologies. I…

Why We Stay: What the History of Mormonism Reveals About the Origins of “Race”

By Max Mueller

…ndational text of a history of race and religion published to date. Yet my book comes out during something of a “Book of Mormon” moment. Literary scholars are beginning to study it and teach it as a peculiar and deeply complicated text. This is new. It’s a break from the more than century-long tradition of intentional Book of Mormon illiteracy among serious readers (inaugurated by Mark Twain’s famous quip that the book is “chloroform in print,” wh…

Obama Administration Gives Free Pass for Faith-Based Groups to Discriminate

By Sarah Posner

…disclosures from the Obama administration about what it has called a “case-by-case” review have failed to make clear that the granting of certificates of exemption to faith-based grantees who requested them has remained administration policy. Rather, the administration has responded to calls from civil liberties groups for transparency on the issue with silence and confusion. Since President Barack Obama launched his Office of Faith-Based and Nei…

New Study of Christian Nationalism in Texas Should be a Warning for the Whole Country

By David R. Brockman

…roversy in America?” and “Christian Heritage Yet Ungodly Policies.” In her new book, The Power Worshippers: Inside the Dangerous Rise of Religious Nationalism, author Katherine Stewart calls Barton “the Where’s Waldo of the Christian nationalist movement.” Indeed, he was at the center of the 2009 controversy over the Texas social studies curriculum standards, serving as one of the “expert” reviewers of the standards despite his lack of academic qu…
