By Daniel Schultz

…some right-wing spin centering on this remark from one of the Civil Rights Commissioners: Freedom of religion and religion has been used to justify all kinds of discrimination throughout history, whether it be slavery, whether it be the Holocaust, whether it be—I mean, we—we can list hundreds of situations where freedom of religion has been used to justify discrimination.

By Kristel Clayville

…n earth”) to “sin and wickedness.” This reasoning comes so readily to right-wing figures that self-proclaimed “good Christian” Ann Coulter was blaming Houston’s former mayor, out lesbian Annise Parker, for Hurricane Harvey while the floodwaters were still rising. https://twitter.com/AnnCoulter/status/902373016818126849 At the very least, Coulter, Bakker, Joyner, and, the authors of the Nashville Statement are acknowledging the contemporary truth o…

The ‘Pro-Family’ Movement Has Little to Say About Family Separation

By Sophie Bjork-James

…oungest children to their parents. Horror stories continue to emerge: the 1-year-old forced to represent himself in immigration court; the 38 children whose parents cannot be located; the father who cries that having his child taken caused “much greater suffering” than the death threats by police officers in his native Honduras; the 14-month-old baby returned to his mother after 85 days covered in lice and dirt. At this point even if all the child…

Prosperity Gospel Is Not the Only Problem with Joel Osteen’s Harvey Response

By Brie Loskota and Peter Gudaitis

…ts hard, people often turn to religion and spirituality. To not have a call-to-action or guidance makes the whole operation feel morally bankrupt. Accurate or not, any action the church takes now looks like Osteen’s attempt to save face rather than moral leadership and conviction in the face of a crisis. Despite its size and public image, Lakewood Church is not all that unique. Unleveraged assets exist within congregations of all faith traditions…

…hard-hearted pride (see Ezekiel 16:49-50). It’s also notable that the one New Testament passage that speaks most graphically about male-male sex (Romans 1:27) makes no reference to Sodom. For the theological definition of “sodomy,” we have to jump to medieval Rome and Peter Damian, fierce monk and sometimes cardinal. He defines four varieties of a sexual sin that he names “sodomy.” The varieties are (in modern terminology): male masturbation, mut…

By Carmen Celestini

…it via subversives hidden in every institution. During the early 1960s anti-communism groups, such as the John Birch Society linked the Civil Rights Movement to communism and the modern version of the Illuminati, “The Insiders,” a global conspiracy of wealthy families and entities with deeply anti-Semitic roots. Founders Robert Welch, Fred Koch, and the JBS promoted the idea that the communists were convincing African Americans to rise up, not bec…

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

By Sunnivie Brydum

…r this federal funding, will you stand up [and demand] that this school be open to all students?” Clark asked. DeVos side-stepped the question with the skill of a seasoned line dancer. She refused to give a clear yes or no answer, suggesting the question Clark posed was “hypothetical,” even though the school whose policy Clark quoted does in fact exist and receives funding from Indiana’s coffers. The secretary was similarly evasive when Clark aske…

The Religious Origins of Fake News and ‘Alternative Facts’

By Christopher Douglas

…ds to get better reception among conservatives than liberals, even by a two-to-one margin, has also been recognized. (When one fake news creator was interviewed, he explained, “We’ve tried to do similar things to liberals. It just has never worked, it never takes off. You’ll get debunked within the first two comments, and then the whole thing just kind of fizzles out.”) What is it about Republicans that seems to make them more credulous to fake ne…

By Chrissy Stroop

…to move the event to Washington, D.C., in part in response to Russia’s anti-Protestant actions. The Yarovaya Laws—the so-called anti-terrorism measures that contain the relevant provisions on religious activities—went into effect that July, and immediately began to be enforced. Despite coverage in Christianity Today, however, there seems to be relatively little outcry among American Evangelicals (Russell Moore and Michele Bachmann are exceptions)….
