By Annika Brockschmidt

…’s animal killing proclamations don’t seem to have kicked her off the Veep-list yet—at least not officially, according to Trump himself, who dodged the question in an interview this week: “She had a rough couple of days.

I don’t want to comment on anybody on the list.” And Noem did spend the previous weekend at a Mar-a-Lago donor event. Then…

Why the Lewd Trump Tapes Won’t Matter (As Much As You Think) in White Christian America

By Paul Harvey

…a former Miss Universe—chuckles. You can fill in the rest of the very long list. Curious to see how the Trump demographic is responding to the latest scandal, I took this opportunity to survey my Facebook “acquaintances,” mostly consisting of those I grew up and went to K – 12 school with in rural northwest Oklahoma. These are folks tailor-made for the Trump demographic: white, living in or close to the hometown, Christian, and angry in ways they…

The Theology of Westboro: The “World’s Meanest Church” Is More Than Picket Signs

By Rebecca Barrett-Fox

…which the press accepted without hesitation—I didn’t see the subtitle as a list of institutions that God hated. I saw the title as God Hates, then the colon, then the subtitle, which was a list of the three major topics I was addressing: Westboro Baptist Church, American Nationalism, and The Religious Right.

…ues currently taught by various Christian denominations. According to this list, mainline Protestant denominations such as the United Church of Christ and the Episcopal Church claim that homosexuality is not antithetical to Christian teaching, while PCUSA supports an inclusive understanding of marriage and is “generally LGBT affirming.” Even denominations such as the Catholic Church and the United Methodist Church—whose official theology still hol…

By Julie Ingersoll

…, New Hampshire, and Iowa) promoting a creationist film called The Genesis Code, and holding fundraising receptions. The moralistic film follows an unbelieving hockey player and a Christian journalism student who struggle with “reconciling their scientific studies and what’s taught in the Bible” as he falls for her and she uses their relationship to “guide” him “toward God.” You can read a “pro-family” review here that warns of sex (kissing) and n…

By Sarah Posner

…rategy. In the last election cycle, the anti-choice group Susan B. Anthony List targeted Democrats who first held up health care reform by demanding the inclusion of the Stupak Amendment (restricting abortion coverage) but then voted for the final bill. The group ran campaign ads charging the bill was the “biggest expansion of abortion in decades,” a false statement that even got it embroiled in litigation, and caused a group of Cincinnati-area nu…

…ast on the CD version) also includes a picture of Bowie sketching the Kabbalistic Tree of Life on the floor.”6 Fascinatingly, the record also includes an achingly beautiful prayer of a song, “Word on a Wing”: Just because I believe don’t mean I don’t think as well Don’t have to question everything in heaven or hell… Lord, I kneel and offer you my word on a wing And I’m trying hard to fit among your scheme of things It’s safer than a strange land,…

Angels & Demons: America’s Preeminent Pop Theologian Takes on Religion and Science

By Nathan Schneider

…leased in mid-May. Angels & Demons is the successor to 2006’s The Da Vinci Code, which its star Tom Hanks called “just a good story loaded with hooey and nonsense.” Of course, he only has to say that because it’s not true. Everybody knows that despite getting most of his facts wrong, Dan Brown is American culture’s preeminent religious thinker and, in particular, our most trusted interpreter of Catholicism. Even though the Vatican decided to play…

Trump as GOP’s New Televangelist

By Sarah Posner

…angelist pilgrimage is hardly new. Mike Huckabee is now himself a televangelist of sorts, having learned at the feet of televangelist James Robison, who wants a Christian president, particularly one who would revise the tax code “so we can rejoice together because it would stimulate economic growth.” (Huckabee’s hosted debate, though, this past weekend, was more of a snooze than a circus.) In 2008 Huckabee got a fundraising boost from Kenneth Cope…
