…rmal investigation, psychic practices, and practicing witchcraft. In a June 2021 Facebook post, Daniels replied: “Let me get this straight… They are going to use my religious belie[fs] and profession to discriminate against me…” I should note that Avenatti’s lawyers probably don’t care what her beliefs actually indicate about her competence, let alone what religion scholars such as myself have to say about it. They’re employing a trial strategy to…

…h antisemitic conspiracy theories. Following Netanyahu’s failed election in 2021, evangelical author Mike Evans, who claims millions of followers, blamed the anti-Netanyahu bloc for risking Israel’s downfall in a Times of Israel blog post titled “Israel’s political striptease show.” Drawing a comparison between Netanyahu’s opposition and German Jews who supposedly allowed the Holocaust to happen because they were too “busy insulting each other [an…

Four years later in 2021 the Pentagon “released a report of UAP sightings by pilots and military personnel… revers[ing] the multi-year—and quite successful—campaign to debunk all types of witness testimonies regarding UAP sightings.” Then, last summer, retired intelligence officer David Grusch testified before congress, claiming to have second hand knowledge of a secret program to reverse eng…

…Sen. Brian Dahle in California. “When we are born again,” says Sheets, in a 2021 “Daily Prayer with Dutch” video, “we are no longer simply humans… we are a new race of supernatural beings called Christians.” NAR is about the organization of this supernatural race into the Ekklesia, whose purpose he says is “managing and governing the earth.” In fairness, Sheets also tells viewers: “obviously we are not to expand the Christian faith or God’s rule b…

…participation in the violent insurrection he himself incited on January 6, 2021, calling them “persecuted Christians” and “hostages.” He calls his political opponents “very evil people.” Before Trump spoke, his campaign set the stage for his remarks by playing a version of “The Star-Spangled Banner” sung by a group he has dubbed “the J6 prison choir,” comprised of 20 men who have been arrested, convicted, and incarcerated because of their role in…

By M. Cooper Minister

…affirming care to youth. These bills follow a precedent set by Arkansas in 2021, where legislators passed the first bill of its kind. Although vetoes and court injunctions have permanently blocked Arkansas’s ban and temporarily blocked similar measures in some states, these bans are now active in many states. And, while the legislation isn’t generally couched in religious language, these bans impose a gender binary in which religion and law colla…
