Recent Debates Highlight Democrats’ Antisemitism Blind Spot—But It’s Not What You Think

By Nylah Burton

In the weeks since Rep. Ilhan Omar’s (D-MN) allegedly antisemitic tweets about U.S. support of Israel sparked a firestorm of controversy, the Democratic Party has taken great pains to distance itself from perceived antisemitism. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi introduced a resolution opposing antisemitism to the House floor, in plain rebuke of Omar’s comments. However, the response to the disproportionate criticism Omar received suggests that many fee…

Some Mormons See a Message in the Angel Moroni’s Fallen Trumpet

By Christopher James Blythe

Some Mormons See a Message in the Angel Moroni’s Fallen Trumpet On March 18, 2020, at 7:09 in the morning, residents of Salt Lake City and the surrounding counties of northern Utah awoke to a 5.7 magnitude earthquake that struck 10 miles outside the city. Fortunately, there appears to have been no loss of life, although there was some property damage throughout the area. The iconic Salt Lake City Temple of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day…

Christian Right Claims to be ‘Above Politics’ Are Unbelievable

By Chrissy Stroop

Have you ever noticed that for hardline ideologues, only their opponents are “doing politics,” while they are simply “being objective”? In my last piece for RD I looked at the related ways in which even overtly political evangelicals often connect the notion of “the biblical worldview” to their political vision. For example, Tony Perkins, head of the anti-LGBTQ Family Research Council, claims that if churches played down politics and simply instr…

‘The White Privileged Man’s Burden’: If Jesus Was White Who Are We to Question the ‘Privilege’ That Came With it?

By A. E. Brooks-Key

Religious institutions across America are seeking out anti-racist professionals in a long overdue attempt to address the legacies of racism, bigotry, and discrimination in their denominations. The General Commission on Religion and Race of The United Methodist Church selected Robin DiAngelo, author of White Fragility to develop a response to “white privilege” called, appropriately, “Deconstructing White privilege.” For those unfamiliar with “Whit…

Hey Hey, Ho Ho White Jesus Has to Go… But The Issue is More Complicated Than You Think

By A. E. Brooks-Key

As a child growing up in Louisville, Kentucky in the late 1970s a curious painting hung in my family’s den depicting thirteen men of varying shades of brown sitting around a long table partaking in a meal. In the middle was a brown-skinned man sitting stoically with a halo surrounding his perfectly round Afro. I know you’re thinking the very same thing I did when I was a kid: “You had a picture of Richard Pryor and his friends hanging up in your…

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

What the hell did I just see? Not in a good way. No. Seriously: what the hell did I just see? https://twitter.com/revrrlewis/status/1254746061958193155 The short version of my reaction to My Pillow CEO Mike Lindell pimping his journey “from crack addict to CEO” goes something like this: “What the actual…” followed by a string of nouns and gerunds that Religion Dispatches will not allow me to publish for my own good. The longer version of my react…

Whether it’s Celebrated by CT or Denied in NYC, Evangelical Proselytizing Isn’t in Quarantine

By Chrissy Stroop

One has to imagine that the rabidly anti-LGBTQ Franklin Graham, President and CEO of the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association and Samaritan’s Purse, expected the kind of culture war conflict he evidently relishes when he mobilized the latter to set up and operate a 68-bed field hospital in New York City’s Central Park in partnership with the Mount Sinai Health System. In addition to being the epicenter of the COVID-19 pandemic in the United Stat…

‘Restart the Economy’ is a Prayer to a Conservative God Who Demands Human Sacrifice

By Stephen Young

According to classic interpretations of the Jewish and Christian Bibles, a Canaanite deity named Moloch demanded the sacrifice of children. There is a long history of writing about this bloodthirsty god spanning the ancient world to John Milton’s Paradise Lost to Allen Ginsberg’s “Howl” to modern social commentators. One recurring point is that the depravity of Moloch was reflected in his insatiable lust for innocent flesh. How could anyone worsh…

Does ‘Criss-Cross Apple Sauce’ Make Yoga Secular? Opponents of Yoga in Public Schools Have a Point

By Candy Gunther Brown

Alabama is the latest state to reconsider its stance on yoga, as reported by The New York Times earlier this week (an article for which I was interviewed). The 1993 Alabama State Department of Education Administrative Code prohibits public school personnel from using “any techniques that involve the induction of hypnotic states, guided imagery, meditation or yoga,” and defines yoga as “a Hindu philosophy and method of religious training in which…

In Order to Move Forward We Must Believe the Unbelievable: Some Choose Death Over Democracy

By John Stoehr

I get why some people don’t get why 72 million Americans voted for Donald Trump. The Covid-19 pandemic has killed nearly a quarter of a million people in this country; it’s brought the U.S. economy to the brink of collapse; and the president is a lying, thieving, philandering sadist. How could so many Americans say: “Yeah, I’m good with that?” I get why that’s hard to believe, but the thing we have to do, if we hope to move our country forward, i…
