…hich helps inmates move back into society. After a profile appeared on npr.com, a commenter with the handle Janis Spotts wrote, “I spent 4 years working in the MDOC as a nurse. I’m not naive about the evil that many had performed, but the treatment in prison only degrades the remains of the soul. Thank you for sharing this story-it gave me hope that change is possible-especially if it happens inside the soul.” She was joined by dozens of others wh…

What the Latest ‘God’s Not Dead’ Gets Egregiously Wrong — and Right — About Homeschooling

By R.L. Stollar

…eschool curricula aren’t much better. Three of the most popular curriculum companies in homeschooling—Abeka, Bob Jones, and ACE—all started as providers to whites-only, religious private schools. Unsurprisingly, then, this trinity of companies publishes curricula that are chock-full of historical revisionism, Christian Nationalism, and even straightforward racism. In short, they promote exactly the same teachings highlighted in We The People when…

Dems Should Take Notes From Elizabeth Warren’s Pitch-Perfect Answer on Faith

By Daniel Schultz

…the candidate wants to talk about. It takes discipline and preparation to come up with an answer like that, and Warren makes it look easy. Jack Jenkins points out that she’s given variations on this response before, but that’s sort of the point. In less assured hands, it would come across as scripted, rote. From Warren, it seems off the cuff. By the end, you can hear the cadences of an Oklahoma preacher slipping in. Seriously, the last time I saw…

…entertainment license. An attorney for the dancers told GSN: This decision comes at an important time in Hong Kong – not only for Hong Kong citizens seeking to exercise their right to demonstrate, but also for LGBT members of the community wishing to express their views free from police harassment. ‘Our highest court has now sent the police a clear message that they can no longer use this piece of public entertainment legislation to restrict the r…

The Right’s ‘Grooming’ Rhetoric Didn’t Begin with QAnon — You Have to Go Back a Bit Further to Get to the Source

By Sophie Bjork-James

…have instead framed their efforts as protecting children. A prime example comes in the form of opposition to trans rights bills, often called “Bathroom Bills” by Christian Right groups in order to ratchet up the fear, since they claimed that these bills would put women and girls at risk by allowing male predators into female bathrooms. This tactic remains in play because it accomplishes so much. It works. First, it shifts the conversation away fr…

Stop Trying to Save Jesus: ‘Fandamentalism’ Reinforces the Problem of Christian Supremacism

By Chrissy Stroop

…a multiplicity of competing “Christianities”—then we must also admit that competing interpretations of Christianity hold up competing understandings of Jesus. And that those various “Jesuses” have real power in their respective Christian communities. Put aside, for a moment, the question of what the historical Jesus “was really like.” New Testament scholars have often found Jesus to be an admirable healer and anti-authoritarian figure, but there…

By Nicky Loomis

…” stamped above a photo of the candidate. In a recent posting on Beliefnet.com, Mara Vanderslice, an evangelical Democrat who started Common Good Strategies, a consulting firm that helps Democrats reach out to Christian communities, describes the McCain ad as playing to the basest elements of human nature. Vanderslice, who was the Director of Religious Outreach for the Kerry-Edwards campaign and the first national religious outreach liaison for a…

Pierre Teilhard de Chardin’s Legacy of Eugenics and Racism Can’t Be Ignored

By John P. Slattery

…e writes, “that there is no ‘Scientific Commission’…along with a ‘Biblical Commission’”? Such a commission could encourage the world to embrace three important eugenical ideas: “the optimum rather than the maximum in reproduction”; “a gradual separation of sexuality from reproduction”; and, in horrifying final words, “the absolute right…to try everything right to the end—even in the matter of human biology.” At this juncture, one must ask why no s…

Is Pro-Life Cause Célèbre Chen Guangcheng Actually Pro-Life?

By Lindsay Beyerstein

…amily Research Council president Tony Perkins on April 30. Hoffman’s op-ed combines two common narratives about Chen and the Obama administration that have become popular on anti-abortion websites; that the Obama administration has betrayed Chen because it values economic cooperation over human rights; and that the administration is refusing to help Chen because it supports the forced abortions that Chen opposes. The Perfect Dog Whistle A bookend…

You Can Take The Boy Out of the Crack House: MyPillow CEO’s New Book Promo Has Deep Roots in American Christianity

By Daniel Schultz

…and profound. I think it’s Euclidean geometry. At the same time, Lindell’s commerical taps deep roots in American religion. We have always been a nation eager to seek redemption from former sins, all the way back to Jonathan Edwards’ sinners in the hands of an angry God to the Methodist and Presbyterian strivers of the Second Great Awakening, all the way up to today’s megachurches preaching self-help. More important, we’ve always been a nation wil…
