…p-seated unresolved traumas. They connect with something larger than themselves, swallowing them up in a bigger fight, making them feel important, and filling their lives with meaning. But this is also the problem, as Cook shows. While the threat to democracy QAnon represents has been much debated, especially since the Capitol Siege on Jan 6, 2021, what Quiet Damage reveals is the quotidian underbelly of the same problem.

At Maria’s home, the cabinets were often found open in the kitchen. At first she suspected the cats. Then, at some point Maria and her husband installed a video camera to monitor the room overnight.

Few in Israel, Jew or Palestinian, really believe it anymore.” In other words, it enables liberal Zionists to remain “troubled and yet committed.” Not a new reality, a new story What Hartman is trying to do in his essay is make liberal Zionists relevant again; to make them part of a conversation that now largely excludes them.

The Quiet Passing of Fundamentalist Mormon Prophet Lynn A. Thompson Suggests Polygamy Recognition Remains a Distant Hope

…Mormon fundamentalist religion, quietly passed away this week on October 5, 2021. ‘Mormon fundamentalist religion’ is a term used by both early leaders of the movement and leaders within the LDS Church to differentiate themselves from those who continued the controversial marital practice.

If We Don’t Counter Far-Right Christianity, 1/6 Will Just Be the Beginning

…rt network for former president Trump. Nearly one year ago, on January 6th, 2021, this growing religious and political extremism manifested itself in an unthinkable way. Mobs of Trump backers carrying crosses, bibles, and signs with religious messages stormed the Capitol—ransacking the building, hunting down Congressmembers, and ultimately leaving multiple people dead. A man in a fur hat and horns—now infamously known as the QAnon Shaman or Q-Sham…

Atheist Richard Dawkins Swings to Anti-Trans Right in Grasp at Broader Intellectual Relevance

…t Sam Harris and the other New Atheists’ Islamophobia. Pot, meet kettle. In 2021, we find ourselves in a timeline in which Greenwald himself is spreading transphobic rhetoric and granting multiple interviews to Tucker Carlson (whom Greenwald calls a socialist), giving right-wing rhetoric access to his substantial online following. Truly the dangerous death throes of another angry, white male intellectual destroying his own reputation. And, while D…

…ustice, and more. This is according to The State of Religion & Young People 2021 from Springtide Research Institute, where I serve as Executive Director, which surveyed over 10,000 young people between the ages of 13-25 about their spirituality. This disconnect in values is likely a major reason why, although 71% of young people told us they’re at least slightly religious, only 16% said they turn to someone from their religious community during ch…

…se he saw that the Jews could survive in America if they created for themselves, not an enclave like you see with the [Hasidic] Satmar [community], but a sense of pride where Jews would marry and hang around with other Jews and act exclusively for the sake of Jews and Jewishness. And, if necessary, make other people afraid of them, frankly. How did Kahane understand antisemitism and how has his understanding of antisemitism influenced, not just th…

Whose House? Their House: Just Who Was Held Accountable for the 1/6 Insurrection is Telling

…. Terrorism crimes are a category of charges rather than the charges themselves—those found to have political motives—and they can result in longer sentences and being held without bail as Nordean and Pezzola are. They could face ten years in prison if the judge determines the property damage was politically motivated. Worryingly, 62 members of the military and at least fifteen law enforcement officers have been charged so far. The Oath Keeper mil…

Will “Church Militants” Be Marching for Trump?

As I’ve noted here on RD, conservative interpretations of Catholic theology are often more influential on the religious and political right than they’re often given credit for, largely because of the misperception that the (protestant) Christian right is the religious right. While it’s true that it’s the protestant right that’s traditionally been the electoral powerhouse of the Republican Party, much of the intellectual underpinning of cultural d…
