Brits Get A Dose of Christian Nation Politicking

By Sarah Posner

…rist as ‘our savior,’” and “went further than any recent prime minister in talking about his Christian faith publicly.” Cameron subsequently penned an opinion piece for Church Times, in which he elaborated: Some people feel that in this ever more secular age we shouldn’t talk about these things. I completely disagree. I believe we should be more confident about our status as a Christian country, more ambitious about expanding the role of faith-bas…

Is the Ryan VP Pick Good for Mormonism?

By Joanna Brooks

…He touches all of these third rails, like Medicare, giving people a lot to talk about that has nothing to do with the big rich awkward titular character in the campaign. Exactly. Mormonism is a winner in the Ryan pick in terms of moving off center stage. Because most Mormons—even enthusiastic Romney supporters—have been ambivalent about the spotlight. Would you agree? They’ve been ambivalent about the sort of details the spotlight has focused on….

Reza Aslan’s Viral Fox News Interview Reveals More Than Just Christian Privilege

By Jeffrey Scholes

…strategy with questionable long term prospects. Because the authority to talk about religion was at issue here, thankfully the interview never slid into a tired debate over whether or not Jesus was divine. Even though no mutual understanding was reached, the role of religious studies scholarship, as opposed to the theological, was put on a grand stage. No doubt, Aslan and religion scholars, especially in America, will continue to be asked to sho…

Oprah, Terrorist Cells, and the Meaning of Life: An Interview with Paul Froese

By Andrew Aghapour

…culture” and the self-help genre have filled this moral vacuum. Could you talk more about that? With modernity comes this idea that the self is sacred—the individual becomes the ultimate decision maker on what is moral and what is immoral. I think that’s even true within conservative religious traditions within postmodern countries. An example of that is the rise of religious individualism. “How do you know God?” “Well, I don’t know God from what…

Why Being “Faith Friendly” Isn’t Worth It For Democrats

By Daniel Schultz

…hey hold voter registration drives and letter-writing campaigns. They also talk more about politics in the pulpit. (They don’t generally make partisan suggestions in worship, though.) What risk is there to the faith of Democratic voters by engaging religion in partisan battle? Is that risk worth it? Second: why, for the love of God or not, are we always talking about building a Religious Left? This all too often translates into a socially-conserva…

Why White Evangelical Women Aren’t the Swing Voters They Sometimes Appear to Be

By Sikivu Hutchinson

…ulating the bathrooms of transgender people, or immigration. Instead, they talk about how women’s relationships and compassion for the downtrodden can help solve social problems like poverty, homelessness, sex trafficking, and racism. Yet even as IF speakers spend more time talking about traditionally liberal topics, IF: Gathering sabotages any effort to change the consistent patterns of white evangelical women’s political allegiances to Republica…

The Racist Message of Do-Nothing Religion, Courtesy of Texas Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick

By Kevin Healey

…ho believed in radical leftism, not in Christianity. Wright’s style of God-talk is just politics, not religion, they said. It was a racist strategy that could have cost Obama the election if John McCain hadn’t refused to push the issue and asked the North Carolina GOP to tap the brakes on a TV ad they’d produced. But the late Senator demonstrated a quality his more sanctimonious colleagues appear to lack: integrity. That’s what’s missing from the…

Conventional Wisdom: RNC/DNC Giving God a Bad Name?

By Peter Laarman

…ant Burns Strider, who largely makes his living helping Democrats talk the talk, made the whole affair in Charlotte sound like one big prayer meeting. After noting that he’s “not into word counts,” Strider still found it necessary to remind readers that the platform was, in fact, amended by voice vote to include the word “God.” So there! Blogging on the Washington Post website, Strider wrote that the convention was “robust with opportunities for t…

Democratic Candidates Don’t Need to Get More Religious, They Just Need to Get Known

By Daniel Schultz

…ht even be people who aren’t consultants making their living off Democrats Talking About Faith. But even a cursory second glance at the numbers tells a different story: 7% of poll respondents say they haven’t heard enough about Biden to answer the question. It’s 6% for Sanders. But it’s 15% for Warren and 30% for Buttigieg (who’s since dropped out). In other words, most people know who Biden is, and that he’s a staunch Catholic. And most people kn…

The Rise of the Catholic Cyber-Bullies

By Patricia Miller

…atholic Vote. They got the right-wing echo chamber so ginned up that three talks by Martin were cancelled, most recently and most prominently by the Theological College at Catholic University, where Martin wasn’t even talking about the “gay book” but receptionists were treated to people calling in screaming. Such witch hunts against even a crack of progressive sunlight being allowed to stir the dusty orthodoxy of the church aren’t anything new, of…
