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

…her day. Of course, the greatest consequences of the insurrection on Jan 6, 2021, in Washington DC, were felt by the five who died, and their loved ones who remain. Of those five, one has stood out in the stories that followed. Capitol Police shot Ashli Babbitt, an air force veteran, as she jumped through a smashed window toward an area where members of Congress and congressional staffers were escaping.

Is Zionism No Longer Able to Offer Solutions to the Present Reality?

…longer connects in any coherent way to describe what Israel actually is in 2021. At best, Benattar argues, liberal Zionism is stuck in 2010; in the heyday of J-Street; before the acceleration of de-facto annexation; before the 2018 Nation State Law; before liberal Zionism’s most celebrated advocate, Peter Beinart, abandoned two-states; and before five Israeli elections illustrated pretty definitively that Israel is simply no longer a liberal coun…

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.

Truly the dangerous death throes of another angry, white male intellectual destroying his own reputation. And, while D…

Gen Z is Turning Away From Religion in Order to Live Out Their Values

…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…

Do Make Trouble: The Complex World of Radical Jewish ‘Revenge Theologian,’ Meir Kahane

…ought of an American Jewish Radical Shaul Magid Princeton U. Press October, 2021 Kahane’s violence often left his ideas to be dismissed as the ravings of either a thug or a madman (perhaps both), but, as Magid unpacks, he had a complex worldview whose purpose was the reclamation of Jewish identity that Zionism promised to Jews throughout the world, an identity that negated the humiliations he ascribed to the state of diaspora.

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. According to the Apostolic United Brethren, they were charged with continuing the “fundamentals” of the faith—namely polygamy—after the LDS Church essentially b…

VIDEO: “First-Generation, Indian-American Muslim Kid” Makes Fun of the President. Onstage.

In hosting the annual White House Correspondents’ Dinner for the first time Saturday, The Daily Show‘s “first-generation, Indian-American Muslim kid,” Hasan Minhaj, was in rare form, subjecting the D.C. press corps and the absent Trump administration to the biting, funny-because-its-true humor laced with socio-political critique that’s made him a standout senior correspondent on The Daily Show. The full 25-minute speech is worth watching (see vid…

DeVos Literally Can’t Name a Discriminatory Policy She’d Refuse to Fund

In a tense exchange with Massachusetts Rep. Katherine Clark on Wednesday, Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos refused to identify a single example of discriminatory policies that would make a private school ineligible for federal funding. The conversation, captured by CSPAN and embedded below, is astounding in how clearly it exposes the scope of “faith-based” discriminatory actions that DeVos is willing to permit. Rep. Clark, a Democrat who has “m…

“Exvangelical” Podcast: Safe Space for Those “Living In, Leaving, or Coming to Terms With” Evangelicalism

In June 2015, I asserted here on RD that “we need to listen to the voices of those who have been harmed by the fundamentalist tendencies in evangelicalism,” and that “we need to center the voices of LGBTQ youth, such as transgender teen Leelah Alcorn who was driven to suicide by her evangelical upbringing.” Almost two years later, white evangelicals are demonstrably the demographic most singularly responsible for bringing us the disastrous presid…
