The Book of Mormon itself teaches (in Mosiah 18, for those of you who have a copy) that being baptized is first and foremost an expression of desire and willingness to belong.

By Paul Harvey

…n and the critical issues confronting our nation, an audiotape of an eleven-year-old private conversation with an entertainment talk show host is unlikely to rank high on the hierarcy of their concerns.” It’s interesting to see what else does not fit into the “hierarchy of concerns.” Racist attacks on immigrants and people of color—not on the list. Same with Twitter wars with Gold Star Mothers. Peddling birther lies years after they were disproved…

Anti-Gay Evangelicalism is the Norm: A Less Rosy Take on the Evangelical “Tipping Point”

By Chrissy Stroop

…onses to Jenner’s transition: While ‘evangelical’ and ‘fundamentalist’ are highly contested and fluid terms (and certainly not equivalent) the above post uses ‘fundamentalist’ as a blanket label for fringe, conservative evangelicals. With respect to the terminology of evangelicalism and fundamentalism, I take the point that my usage was imprecise. However, with all due respect, I do object to the characterization of the views I analyzed in my blog…

The End of Roe and School Prayer: America is Not Ready to Be a Christian Nation

By Andrew L. Seidel

…alistic democracy will crumble, because without that separation, religious freedom becomes religious privilege. That’s where this court is taking us: to a Christian nation where conservative white Christians are a special, favored class and all others are second class citizens. The separation of church and state is one bedrock that protects and enshrines equality in a way that too many of us do not understand, but which will be painfully obvious w…

‘When I Spoke in Tongues’ Points the Way Out of Fundamentalist Christianity

By Andreea Nica

…In leaving, there are social consequences and challenges in navigating the new world—a new meaning system—one that’s quite different from the religious one. Research shows that individuals who leave Christian fundamentalism experience a situational crisis in leaving the religion—a unique meaning-making framework focused on the sacred and divine—and undergo a meaning-making process to achieve a positive resolution in leaving the religion. The meani…

By Lauri Lebo

…r waiver. An earlier version of the bill would have permitted prayer at non-compulsory school events, including assemblies and sports events, but that provision was taken out before a final vote. Of course, there is more to this story and this legislation wasn’t written in a vacuum. The new law, which goes into effect July 1, stems from the incredibly messy fight taking place in the Santa Rosa County School District in northwest Florida. As part o…

By Mary E. Hunt

…ests, most of the bishops took a powder. Annual CTA meetings kept some edge-of-the-pew Catholics in conversation with one another. The group has not, to my knowledge, been particularly public on abortion. But in a recent open letter that they admitted “may startle our members and supporters,” CTA declared that the content of the leaked draft “represents another turn toward state-sponsored violence, racism and misogyny.” They invite Catholics to di…

Could a Real Life Jurassic Park Help with Climate Change?

By Michael Schulson

…inct species, such as mammoths and passenger pigeons, back to life. In her new book, How to Clone a Mammoth, Shapiro offers an accessible, rigorous, I-can’t-believe-it’s-not-sci-fi guide to the world of de-extinction research. You can read the book as a pop primer on genetics, a field guide to future fauna, or as a roadmap to the next generation of conservation science. But reading about these mammoths and Tasmanian tigers, you start to feel that…

New Poll Reveals That Anti-Trans Rhetoric isn’t Just Affecting Republicans and White Evangelicals

By Chrissy Stroop

…ike this one in subsequent years so that we can see whether Americans’ self-reported feelings about having transgender friends track with their understanding of gender as binary or non-binary. In any case, the new PRRI report does give us at least one indication that the relentless and virulent conservative Christian and Republican efforts to flood public discourse with anti-trans views is having an impact beyond the passage of ever more draconian…
