By Elizabeth Reiner Platt

…Becket, and Rabbi David Saperstein, who served as United States Ambassador-at-Large for International Religious Freedom under President Obama. The first three of these, all from conservative organizations that advocate for broad religious exemptions, pushed a narrative of religious persecution fueled by several fundamental misrepresentations: first, that efforts to combat anti-LGBTQ discrimination, or to provide access to contraception, constitut…

Excerpt: The Christian Roots of Zionism

By Shalom Goldman

…clergy. Niebuhr was one of the leaders of the American Christian Palestine Committee, a pro-Zionist group that had hundreds of members. His support for Zionism was couched in decidedly nontheological terms. He wrote, ‘‘I belong to a Christian group in this country who believe that the Jews have a right to a homeland. They are a nation, scattered among the nations of the world. They have no place where they are not exposed to the perils of minority…

Alex Jones, Performance Artist, and the Duelling Meanings of ‘Sincerity’ in Politics and Public Life

By Spencer Dew

…heroes as it is a product of the Right’s production and consumption of alt-news, alt-facts, and a relentless hermeneutic of suspicion. The liberal world that believed—and believes—in Barack Obama is, epistemologically, a relic of a simpler time (Camelot, we could call it), while the Right’s foil-hat obsession with plots and subterfuge is the logical reaction to more recent revelations about, well, plots and subterfuge.

As in his other ventures, Musk is acting according to what he perceives as a grand vision for humanity.

Speculative as these ideas…

By Chrissy Stroop

…l stmnt about charlottesville”. The tweet in question is the only one that comes up in a search of Falwell’s Twitter for “Charlottesville.” Prominent Southern Baptist Pastor Robert Jeffress—his First Baptist Dallas choir performed an ode of sorts called “Make America Great Again”at a Trump rally in honor of veterans that took place in Washington, D.C. on July 2nd—is also a member of Trump’s Evangelical advisory board. And like Falwell, he has defe…

Status Updates at the End of the World: The Religious Imagination and Our Latest Apocalypse

By Spencer Dew

…ret Assyrian, finds unholy geometry in his hairstyle, and gives him the not-so-subtle Tribulation title “Beastrump.” While barbed, such politics are ultimately non-partisan. Lythgoe was similarly critical of Clinton. It is earthly power itself that’s seen as corrupt; Trump just offers a spectacularly rich example to pair with scriptural critiques. So is this Christian thought? Is this religion? Decades ago, at the peak of the move to stigmatize co…

When the Church’s LGBTIQ Loss is the World’s Gain

By Mary E. Hunt

…, I am a proud member of SLUTS. I still cherish my pristine black-with-pink-day-glo-letters t-shirt. Selisse and friends marched in their SLUTS t-shirts in a San Francisco Pride Parade to the delight of many onlookers who shared their own religious backgrounds. There is something about what Berry calls the “kind of meaning and connectedness one can only find in a loving, supportive community” that religions profess that seems to attract people who…

…the poor to give to the rich via their wildly-unbalanced tax law, the soon-to-be-sacked Jesuit priest had the temerity to suggest that God might have an interest in stemming America’s plunge into an ever-more-savage inequality: As legislation on taxes continues to be debated this week and next, may all Members be mindful that the institutions and structures of our great nation guarantee the opportunities that have allowed some to achieve great su…

Religion and Drag Coexist in ‘Drag Race’ Spinoff—but That Doesn’t Mean It’s Queer

By Drew Konow

…ge from the scenes of Dancing Queen. Group prayers shown before each dance competition become imbricated in a theological system where spiritual labor is a conduit for divine reward. Alyssa Edwards’ popular catch phrases like “winning isn’t everything, wanting to is” become an homage to the power of positive thinking. Justin’s insistence that “God sprinkled a little bit more pixie dust over some of us” points to a theology predicated on God’s unev…
