The Roots of White Evangelicalism’s Crisis Are in White Evangelical Churches, Not Republican Politics

By Jesse Curtis

…institutions and communities are like on the inside. Scholars who tell top-down, elite-driven stories of the Civil Rights Movement are unlikely to be taken seriously. But precisely these kinds of stories continue to drive the discussion around white evangelical politics. The popular story of partisan politics debasing white evangelicalism not only fails to study the roots, it absolves the movement of its deepest failures. A far better model is fo…

The Abortion Debate, Texas Style

By Dhawn Martin

…oments, however rare, however fleeting, offer a glimpse of generous and yet-to-be realized coalitions that strive for the common good, whatever that might look like. Texas, like the union of which it is a part, is built on tall tales, epic myths, and on the grand ideals of freedom, equality, and justice. I, for one, believe in the potential of politics to create more perfect unions. So today and every day that I am at the Capitol during this call…

By Peter Montgomery

…g Communion — as tantamount to heresy. For example, in one particularly eye-opening speech to the assembly last week, a leading African cardinal blasted the “idolatry of Western freedom” as equivalent to “Islamic fundamentalism” and compared both to “apocalyptic beasts.” Cardinal Robert Sarah of Guinea, a top official in the Roman Curia, also said that divorce, abortion and same-sex marriage in the West, and Islamic fundamentalism in Africa and el…

Jesus Said Punch Up, Not Down: Why William Barber’s Attack on the Religious Right May Not Be What It Seems

By Daniel Schultz

…s a form of theological malpractice that borders on heresy when you can p-r-a-y for a president and others when they are p-r-e-y, preying on the most vulnerable,” said Barber, who has spoken up for the poor and against GOP policies as leader of the “Moral Monday” movement. “You’re violating the most sacred principles of religion.” The responses of Religious Right leaders in Barber’s crosshairs, like the Rev. Mark Creech of the Christian Action Lea…

Democratic Egypt Tests a Divided Israel

By Shaul Magid

…ts in the State of Israel (which is an ethnic democracy), Israel does have open elections, a free press and an independent judiciary. When the smoke clears, Israel is still the only democracy in the Middle East, and the Arab street knows it. We may not be able to say that too much longer, however, and the Jewish Israeli street knows that. The question many are asking then is whether it’s “good” or “bad” for the Jews. Israeli View of Democracy, fro…

No “Cancel Culture” on the Right: How Conservative Christians Protect the Powerful

By Chrissy Stroop

…erus laments that “the kind of marriage I had in mind [when he started his new research] is no longer hip in the scholarly sphere… Add Christianity to the mix, and you get the holy grail of unfashionable pairings among my peers.” So Regnerus’s peers despise him, the poor snowflake. And yet he has neither been canceled nor has his pull with the “moderate” end of the conservative evangelical spectrum been in any way compromised. Indeed, even in 2012…

Because We Dared to Exist: After Generations of Trauma Black Gun Ownership is on the Rise

By Josiah Daniels

…r completely dismembered, I know America will never see Black people as non-combatants. I am not pessimistically suggesting we will never be seen as humans, or live free from racist violence, or learn to put words to trauma so we might work towards healing. I am saying with certainty none of that will happen without a rupture in America itself. No, not a reformed American Democracy, but a total breakage from America’s “terms of order” is crucial….

American Infidel: Robert Ingersoll Was the “Great Agnostic” of the (Last) Gilded Age

By Peter Laarman

…ndfather, born to immigrants in 1878, was undoubtedly familiar with the all-but-forgotten figure of Robert Green Ingersoll, the “Great Agnostic,” who popularized Darwin for the millions, who championed the disgraced Thomas Paine, and who kept alive the important tradition of American free thought during the last quarter of the 19th century. Ingersoll’s sold-out lectures were widely reported in newspapers of the time, so that even people who never…

Pope Denounces Gender Colonization; Indonesian Court Considers Islamist Request To Criminalize Homosexuality; Egypt’s Grand Mufti Says No One Has Right to Harm Homosexuals; Global LGBT Recap

By Peter Montgomery

…ncis decries ‘ideological colonization’ on gender LGBT hopes for the who-am-I-to-judge Pope Francis sank a bit this week when the Vatican released the transcript of a meeting between the pope and bishops in Poland last week, in which Francis used harsh language to decry what anti-LGBT conservatives call “gender ideology.” From the transcript: I would like to conclude with this aspect, since behind all this there are ideologies. In Europe, America,…

Trump’s Muslim Ban and the History of Stolen Citizenship in America

By Hussein Rashid and Murali Balaji

…against Bhagat Singh Thind, arguing that, despite his claim that being a “high-caste” Indian afforded him the same status as whites, he did not look white. After this, all South Asians were stripped of their land rights. After each of these instances—Ozawa, Thind, and the Japanese-American internment—there was a massive expropriation of wealth from each of these communities, as being free and white was tied to land-owning, or capital. To remove a…
