Here’s What the Court Didn’t Decide in ‘Masterpiece Cakeshop’

By Patrick Hornbeck

…wo justices—Clarence Thomas and Neil Gorsuch—showed interest in Phillips’s free-speech claims, relying on Phillips’s description of himself as “an artist” and on the labor and imagination that he puts into his frosted creations. In a long footnote, dissenting Justices Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Sonia Sotomayor decisively rejected their colleagues’ argument, observing that Phillips had offered “no evidence showing that an objective observer understand…

Who’s to Blame for BP?

By David True

…imagine a more controlling business than that of the oil industry. In our high-tech age, we have reduced God to a God of the gaps—a God invoked to explain gaps in our knowledge, like those seemingly random events that lie outside our patterns of understanding. Of course, the God of the gaps reigns in modern hearts and minds for a reason. With the rise of science and technology supernatural notions of God have been forced to retreat to the margins…

Mad Men’s Matt Weiner, Warrior Against Woo

By Brook Wilensky-Lanford

…matters do not have to be woo-woo; nor do historical eras have to be one-of-a-kind. When boomers come up to Weiner, as they often do, demanding to know why something they remember was left out of the show, “I’m like, ‘I’m not telling your story, I’m telling the story of your parents.’ You know, or your grandparents. I don’t have a judgment on them necessarily—that sounded really judgmental…maybe I do have a judgment…” Yes you do, Matt, and it’s ok…

Gun Owners of America Celebrates Defeat of Gun Control Amendments

By Sarah Posner

…of bright ideas like we don’t want guns around children, so let’s have gun-free school zones. Do you know where most of the mass murders have occurred in the United States? In gun-free zones. There’s an exception or two but typically it’s where the bad guy has reason to think he’ll have a monopoly of force. It has to be one of the most stupid laws on the books, and yet we’ve had so much inertia because we don’t want guns around children especiall…

Supreme Court Conservatives Allow Execution of Muslim Prisoner Despite Religious Freedom Violation

By Andrew L. Seidel

…civil rights case, essentially giving the bigoted bakery a get-out-of-jail-free card. The court did so because, when a Christian is facing off against the government, the First Amendment is important: “the Constitution’s guarantee of free exercise, cannot impose regulations that are hostile to the religious beliefs of affected citizens …. The Free Exercise Clause bars even ‘subtle departures from neutrality’ on matters of religion.” The Commissio…

The Deadly Burqini, Or, What Exactly is an “Islamic Swimsuit”?

By Shabana Mir

…n Kelyor sagely reminded the giddy Muslim women who have only been doing Islam for decades that the burqini was not “an Islamic swimsuit.” As he says, “that type of suit does not exist in the Koran.” Of course it would be quibbling to ask whether bikinis were mentioned in the New Testament and if saris were explicitly required in the Bhagvad Gita. Everyone knows how the Qur’an and its rules on clothing work. The mayor concluded that “all this” – a…

Is Christianity Simply About God Entering the Uterus of a Jewish Virgin?

By Eric Reitan

…rst came to really appreciate after stumbling across a little known and out-of-print book from the 1950’s, psychotherapist Don Browning’s Atonement and Psychotherapy. The account isn’t one that Browning invented—it’s far older than that. What Browning did was use the metaphor of psychotherapy to elucidate this old and profound understanding of how the incarnation, crucifixion, and resurrection of Jesus could have a truly redemptive power in the wo…

How America’s Charismatic Christianity Helped Fuel the Fantasyland Presidency of Donald Trump

By Eric C. Miller

…have to ask you about Donald Trump. He is now America’s Conspiracy-Theorist-in-Chief, a position that he attained with support from 81 percent of white evangelicals. Does this research help account for that? It’s bizarre. It’s interesting, because he is not, in any meaningful sense, a Christian. So why is it that our most fervently Christian fellow citizens support him so strongly? Well, as you say, our most fervently Christian white citizens. I t…

The Theological Hijacking of Religious “Freedom”

By Timothy K. Snyder

…law is being used to legislate a vision of freedom that defines religious freedom as “freedom from.” Unlike the early American Baptists, who faced serious persecution, these advocates seek to use the law to protect their vision of worship in the workplace as a purity ritual. It is a vision of religious expression free from interference in the form of difference, free from the conflicting demands of our common lives, and free from any obligation t…

King as Inspiration, Not Guide

By William D. Hart

…minority of the black population who are well-educated, have good-paying, high-status jobs, things have never been better. The sky is the limit. And some of them, like Barack Obama, are touching the sky. In contrast, for roughly one-third of the population, things are bad and getting worse: they are poorly educated, unemployed, underemployed, or trapped in low-paying and low-status jobs. This segment of the black population is falling, and with t…
