A Victory for Conservatives in Revised AP History Curriculum

By Peter Laarman

…eptionalism has anything to do with concealing from the losers in a winner-take-all economy the grim reality of their situation. To me it’s plausible that, just as it was useful during America’s rise to discern God’s providential hand guiding the violent conquest of a vast continent, so now during a time of American decline it may likewise be quite useful to keep Americans thinking that God still loves us best despite the daily evi…

By Daniel Schultz

…ationalist missionaries from the north who risked life and limb to educate freed slaves. Booker T. Washington spoke at the dedication of their present sanctuary, and Teddy Roosevelt visited a couple of years later. It was the home church of Atlanta’s first black millionaire, and it has a long history of serving the local black community and helping to lead the cause of civil rights. Andrew Young was based at First throughout the 1960s and 70s. Jer…

Christians Should Give Up “Christianity”: An Interview with Peter Rollins

By Candace Chellew-Hodge

…acceptance of it. Rollins talked with RD’s Candace Chellew-Hodge about his new book and his radical ideas of what church looks like when Christians give up Christianity. The title of this book, “The Idolatry of God,” is immediately provocative. What do you mean by it? I’m very interested in taking on theological concepts like “idolatry” and “sin,” “original sin” and “salvation”—these terms that in some liberal circles are brushed under the carpe…

‘Religious Freedom’ Rally Sets Stage for 1st Amendment Collision

By Sarah Posner

…er from a small church in Baltimore, I understand the position of the faith-based community on this issue. I know—both through my faith and my legal training—that we have an obligation as a nation to make accommodations, where appropriate, to avoid undue interference with the practice of religion in this country.” Conservative claims of infringement of religious freedom, as Cummings pointed out, are on shaky constitutional footing. Although Cathol…

A Sliver of White Evangelicals Abandoning Trump, But That May Be Enough

By Daniel Schultz

…mp, as do 44% of white mainline Protestants and 48% of white Catholics. By comparison, only 36% of nonwhite Protestants and 37% of religiously unaffiliated think highly of the president. To be clear, PRRI’s question is about the president’s favorability—“Do you like Donald Trump?“—as opposed to the more usual polling question, “Do you approve of Pres. Trump’s job performance?” It’s a slightly different way to ask about opinions, but as CNN’s Harry…

Alabama Senate Considers Giving Church Its Own Police Force; Irony Reportedly Dead

By Daniel Schultz

…this in memory of me. On second thought, I can’t actually find that in my New Testament. Perhaps it’s somewhere in the back? Or do they use a different Bible down in Alabama? The Alabama Senate has voted to allow a church to form its own police force. Lawmakers on Tuesday voted 24-4 to allow Briarwood Presbyterian Church in Birmingham to establish a law enforcement department. The church says it needs its own police officers to keep its school as…

Al-Qur’an and Me

By Amina Wadud

…h a professor from Cairo University. I was so smitten by this idea of a one-on-one with the Qur’an that I did not question his methodology. That is, until we came to a passage about female slaves. I could not see from the words of the Qur’an how he came to his conclusions. And because he did not give any indications how he had gotten there, I was left to take it for granted that he “knew.” I needed to know how he had arrived at his conclusions, bu…

Sympathy for the Devils: I Was a Pastor to Trump Supporters

By Daniel Schultz

…ugh some were still Dems when I knew them. Many of them worked industrial, highly-unionized jobs, the kind the economy has been bleeding away for decades. The thing to know about them—the thing I learned too late, unfortunately—was that every time something changed in their lives, it changed for the worse. And I mean just about every stinking time. These were the people who got screwed over by job offshoring, or by technological advances that alwa…

The Man of Science vs. The Man of Faith: Richard Dawkins Spars with Stephen Colbert

By Byron R. McCane and Dan Mathewson

…ade an appearance on The Colbert Report, Comedy Central’s spoof of the Fox News-style, uber-conservative, pro-family values political commentary show. The purported reason for Dawkins’ visit was to discuss his newly released tome, The Greatest Show on Earth, a book that claims to reveal “the evidence for evolution,” as declared by the book’s subtitle. But for Stephen Colbert, the show’s faux-conservative bombast of a host, Dawkins’ visit was the c…

Unintended Consequences: Overturning Roe v. Wade May Endanger This Cherished Evangelical Practice

By R.L. Stollar

…e Surgeon General under President Ronald Reagan), who jointly created a pro-forced-birth film series called Whatever Happened to the Human Race?, abortion quickly became the cause du jour of evangelicals. By 1980, Balmer says, “abortion had emerged as a rallying cry.” Today, 67% of white evangelical Protestants support significant restrictions on abortion, almost twice the number of white mainline Protestants (39%) and substantially higher than ev…
