Watching the Trump Admin’s Coronavirus Response is Like Watching a Bumbling Cult

By Daniel Schultz

…es, citing the low number of confirmed cases as evidence of his ability to manage the crisis. The president is a profoundly ignorant man incapable of understanding that quarantining an entire cruise ship might have dire consequences. He is incapable, really, of understanding much of anything about the true nature of the situation, and he has bent the entire reins of government to the task of maintaining his ignorance. The Inquisition didn’t requir…

By Marianne Duddy-Burke

…ission of the virus. Yet to this day, Catholic health care programs, which manage 26% of the world’s health care services and in many places are the only accessible health care provider, are barred from distributing condoms or educating people on their use. This continues to have a tremendous impact on the LGBTQI community, sex workers, the sexual partners of those infected with HIV, and children exposed to HIV in utero. It leads to incredible suf…

New Patriarch, Same Patriarchy: Despite Glowing Praise For New SBC President, There’s Just One Problem

By Caroline Matas

…tween submission and control and that continue to put the onus on women to manage men’s “insatiable” sex drives. From its hard-line posture toward divorce to its confusing vision of male headship, the SBC’s conservative evangelical theology of gender sends mixed messages that will continue to foster opportunities for abuse and cover-up in the years to come. The positive side of patriarchy While Southern Baptist leaders are open to discussion about…

Is Being Trans a Religion? Why the Christian Right Wants You to Think So

By Chrissy Stroop

…onomic and social policies are objectively harmful to the vast majority of Americans, especially to members of marginalized groups like the LGBTQ community, and they’re perennially unpopular. Republicans succeed largely because of unfair advantages, de jure and de facto, baked into our political system—equal Senate representation for all states regardless of population (and the refusal to consider DC’s case for statehood), combined with GOP abuse…

Why #FreeBritney is an #Exvangelical Cause

By R.L. Stollar

…Spears’s father Jamie became Spears’s conservator, he appointed Taylor as manager for his daughter’s entire estate. Taylor is the CEO of Tri Star Sports & Entertainment Group, one of the industry’s top management firms.

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

By R.L. Stollar

…at even far-right evangelical allies don’t find credible, but what it does manage to perfectly capture is the current state of homeschooling politics, which is currently shot through with fear and paranoia about government intervention. Because of this, homeschooling is almost entirely deregulated. Since any efforts to address problems in homeschooling environments are universally rejected by those who hold power in the movement, abuse and neglect…

Is This the End of Roe v. Wade And the End of Abortion Rights in the US?

By Chrissy Stroop

…their electoral base. Those who create monsters, after all, do not usually manage to control them. And I know this particular monster intimately: I was raised as an evangelical and even bussed to an anti-abortion protest by my family’s church at the age of 11. It’s just that I didn’t see an immediate path to the overturning of the crucial 1973 decision. Also, Republican-controlled states had managed to severely restrict access to abortion, renderi…

By Chrissy Stroop

…ious church-state separation concern that ought to arouse the ire of every American who supports the idea that justice is best protected by a secular government. Religious organizations that wish to receive federal funding should be subjected to the same rules for recipients of that funding as secular organizations, and if they wish to violate the rules by discriminating against members of a protected class, that funding should simply be off-limit…

By Daniel Schultz

…hat’s gonna happen to them? It would also be a reversal of a great deal of American policy. I’m thinking about the work the Bush administration did with PEPFAR. Exactly. PEPFAR funds quite a bit of these health agendas, not just in the area of HIV, but malaria and TB and waterborne diseases. I mean, here we’ve had a COVID epidemic. So everything having to do with pandemic preparedness has also been impacted. And not just that. They’re very much at…

To Be Christian, Intellectual and Black: A Response to Vincent Lloyd

By Joshua L. Lazard

…sense of what that means historically is to understand resistance to core American values that founded this country. To be black and Christian and an intellectual is a formula that the United States may need, but not certainly one that it desires. There is no impetus for this dynamic of black Christian intellectuals relegated to spaces only nominally public to change until the American public finds a way to desire the voice and opinion black Chri…
