Are Evangelical Films Destined to Leave Secular Audiences Behind?

By Daniel Silliman

…e success either. The opening weekend saw sales of more than $6 million in tickets. That’s the kind of number that will inspire others to try and figure out the formula for the faith-and-family blockbuster. Yet, with the cost of the film reportedly exceeding $30 million, it’s an open question whether or not the Left Behind reboot will get a second installment. The marketing problem of evangelical movies is still, stubbornly, a problem. The general…

The Faith that Faith Produced

By Haroon Moghul

…think I was from? Not to mention: I was flying to the other side of the country, at not inconsiderable expense to myself, as part of a commitment to a diverse American Muslim community still finding its way. And yet I was told that not one of us did or said anything to fight back against the ugliness and barbarity of indiscriminate violence. Too many people—not just dentists on Virgin Airlines—make statements like, “Muslims don’t do enough to r…

Paranormal Vodka, Exorcists and a Demonic Doll: Welcome to Paracon, Based on the Work of the Demon-Hunters Who Inspired the ‘Conjuring’ Series

By Eric Harrelson and Joseph P. Laycock

…oommate over a period of months in 1970. Although I can’t find an official number, a casino employee tells us over 5,000 tickets have been sold; 5,000 pilgrims who’ve made the trek from around the country to pay their respects to Annabelle, and are willing to wait hours to do so. On the convention floor, an eclectic group of vendors hocks their wares, from Ouija boards and books about ghost hunting to bath bombs shaped like horror movie icons. The…

Corporations Have Consciences and Contraceptives Are Cheap: Hobby Lobby at the Supreme Court

By Sarah Posner

At oral argument in Sebelius v. Hobby Lobby Stores, Inc. and Conestoga Wood Specialties, Inc. v. Sebelius this morning, the Supreme Court justices spent a great deal of time questioning the lawyers in the case about whether corporations have a religious conscience, and whether Congress intended to protect it when enacting the 1993 Religious Freedom Restoration Act (RFRA). What was most striking, though, was how all three female justices, Sonia So…

Shukr: Gratitude

By Amina Wadud

…ct upon. Think about it, how many of you gave thanks for the rising of the sun today? Yet, if the sun had not risen, we would all have taken note. Shukr then is ALSO to take note when the everyday ordinary goes according to plan. Don’t wait for the bridge to collapse, and don’t wait for some one to die, give thanks now and give it often. Thank you Allah for all that You do and forgive me when I fail to take note. Editor’s Note: To follow all o…

The Contested Religious Powers of Baseball on Display in Cuba

By Sean O'Neil

…old me, “then maybe I can go there.” He didn’t explain how he could love a country he’d never seen. We both knew why: the freedoms I enjoy, which he does not have. This is an astounding recollection, both for its frank admission and potentially worrisome projections. Morosi admits he didn’t need to receive (or ask for?) any deeper explanation for the driver’s declaration of cross-country love because he already knew the answer. In this respect Mor…

TIME also notes that India recently voted for Russia’s unsuccessful effort to strip gay UN staff of spousal benefits. The weeklong event will begin in Knysna, South Africa, on Sunday and will feature contestants from 20 countries. Sayyed would have been the only Asian participant….

What Does a Moral Economy Look Like for the 99 Percent?

By Jonathan Rosenblum

…the community, coaxing them to take on an improbable battle against Alaska Airlines, the Port of Seattle, and the airport corporate establishment. The April rally was our first big campaign test. Would people turn out? They did–850 of them. And the boisterous march, the chants in different languages, the flags of many nations, and the auspicious April sunshine all boosted the community’s confidence and set us on a course to make history. Is there…

Mormon Women Knock at the Door, Are Turned Away

By Holly Welker

…lling itself Ordain Women, the group had already requested and been denied tickets to Saturday evening’s male-only priesthood session. Nonetheless the women and their allies walked to the Tabernacle on Temple Square to wait in the stand-by line for last-minute tickets. Instead they were met by church spokesperson Ruth Todd, who said, “This is no surprise to you, that we won’t be able to offer you a ticket or a place.” Then, as men and boys strode…

Atheist Holiday Display: “A” Does Not Stand for “Art”

By Peter Manseau

…stmas comes We’ll be waiting for you in the sun Drinking white wine in the sun Waiting for you in the sun Waiting for you… Waiting… Atheists can’t properly be said to pray, but if they did, it might sound like this; the language is damn near liturgical. His repeated “waiting” in those closing lines kills me with its longing and hope, its sense of a future wrapped up in the unimaginable inevitability of a child grown, gone, and yet perhaps sometime…
