…f together. But there was a chink in the armor. Every time a church leader talked about Adam and Eve or the creation of the earth, I thought about the broad swaths of time that came before humans, of the Cambrian and Ordovician periods, of the fragile fossils behind the glass in the Ohio State laboratory. When someone talked about the layers of sediment in the Grand Canyon or the evolutionary structure of a bird’s wing, I thought, “Well, they have…

…g more these days, she says, and her longtime partner tells her she’s been talking in her sleep “about the stones.” Frank Mugisha, of Sexual Minorities Uganda (SMUG), notes that the gays and lesbians targeted by Rolling Stone aren’t the only homosexuals to be harassed in the past year.

“We Want Everyone to Come to the Family Reunion”

…om Logan to Provo, Utah. We want people from all sides of an issue to come talk. Recently, our subject was, “Can I support my LGBT child and feel connected to my faith?” We had a Mormon mom whose son came out to her about four years ago and she is not able to attend church right now. There’s still a ton of anger, and it’s very difficult for her. We had another mom whose son came out five weeks ago, and she was very optimistic, saying that she didn…

Intelligent Design Trial Celebrates Fifth Year Reunion

…schools do not have the right to teach what they feel? Well, there you go… talk about imposing your beliefs on the local school. I’m saying of the local community wants to teach the theory of evolution, then it’s up to the school board to decide. But when I made those remarks, it was because the school board wanted to also teach the theory of intelligent design and the government said they could not.

‘Do You Want Columbia to be Cursed by God?’ — Alarming Exchanges in Congress and Beyond Highlight the Desperate Need for Religious Literacy

…tspokenly-Zionist stances does two things: it works to delimit who gets to talk about what constitutes Judaism, and risks discrediting scholars’ work based on their religious affiliation. Stifling discourse about religious discrimination before it even begins also stifles the ability to talk about the internal diversity of political movements and ideologies. For example, Zionism is a word that for some simply means “the Jewish right to self-determ…

How to Prevent Ethnic Cleansing in Syria

…lly cleansed, frequently through blood and fire, while in South Asia, mere talk of new boundaries in the 1940s precipitated horrific violence. That process has begun in the Arab world, or at least threatens to, and we would do well to pay closer attention. There are, I would argue, three regions the Arab world can be loosely divided into. Across the northwest, we have the “Maghreb,” made up of large, overwhelmingly Muslim, sparsely populated count…

Did The Democrats Punt On Faith Outreach?

…Democratic is not enough proof that they would have responded to more God talk from Democrats, or to more attention paid to them as Methodists or Catholics, as opposed to just voters anxious about making rent or mortgage payments. The election results are complicated, voters’ impulses are complicated, and reporters, analysts, strategists, and party insiders are going to be poring over exit polls for a long time in an effort to figure that out. It…

‘Pure White’ Examines the White Supremacist Origins of Evangelical Purity Culture

…t Whiteness. This interview has been edited for length and clarity. You’ve talked about how some of our national myths are tied to White supremacy and Christian nationalism. Would you talk a little bit about how purity culture and purity as a theology and social policy is inherent to these myths? Yeah, absolutely. This idea of connecting Christian virtue with national greatness was something very much a part of 19th century Protestantism. As the W…
