‘People You May Know’ Reveals a War on Democracy Being Waged With Big Data

By Chrissy Stroop

…es and what they were doing, and this was back when everyone was at the level of, well isn’t Facebook a nice thing that connects people? And then Charles came into the room and said they should be broken up under antitrust laws, and have you heard about Cambridge Analytica and five-factor personality profiling? Everybody’s jaw dropped, and they invited him to be special advisor the next day. And I said that we have to document this journey and thi…

Republican Senator Cindy Hyde-Smith Spouts Christian Nationalism Defending Racist Voter Suppression

By Andrew L. Seidel

…aud, rather than taking the opportunity to admit they want to force their religious beliefs on everyone else. Pulling out a dollar bill and reading “In God We Trust” on a dollar bill to justify hateful public policy is straight out of the Christian nationalist playbook. That Hyde-Smith next turns to the Bible and its passages about slavery and thoughtcrime to justify disenfranchising Black voters is apt. She wrongly cited Exodus 20 verse 18, which…

Catholics Across the Globe Reject Vatican’s LGBTQ Cruelty — Others Blame the Sock

By Mary E. Hunt

…f the CDF sword was offered by a would-be defender of queer Catholics who delivered himself of a discourse on the need for queer Catholics to follow Jesus who was scorned, beaten, and finally killed. As one commentator pointed out, at least Jesus had some choice about suffering, unlike LGBTQ+ Catholics upon whom suffering is foisted by the Church. Such pernicious advice, made worse when offered to queer people who are already put upon, is a breath…

How the Right’s War on ‘Critical Race Theory’ Taps into the Powerful Religion of American Innocence

By Peter Laarman

…their hackles when it’s called into question—is the religion of America itself: a religion centered in the idea of American Innocence and the corollary conviction that no one who chronicles the rise of This Great Country of Ours should be allowed to question the reality of ongoing moral progress on these shores. What so infuriates the keepers of the flame is how the witness of Black people, going back to the very beginning, interferes with and ult…

James Dobson’s Family Values Were Influenced by a Eugenicist [Audio]

By Bradley Onishi

…amily are compatible in, you know, in, in, in some way, seamless with evangelical thought, evangelical theology. And so this brings us to a critical juncture. He’s in LA. He’s training psychologists. He’s training pastors. And there is just this guy that you know, some of us have heard of, James Dobson, who happens to be training in Los Angeles to be a psychologist. And this is where we kind of pick up the story with James Dobson, the founder of F…

Hail Santa! War-on-Christmas Outrage Over Satanic Tree Reveals the Self-Serving Ambiguity of ‘Religion’

By Joseph Laycock

…religious groups like The Satanic Temple. They conceal this paradox by labeling religions they don’t like as “anti-religion forces.” According to RFI: “To say The Satanic Temple, which rejects God and hates religion, is a religion is to render as nonsense one of the most important words in the English language and in American public life.” The Satanic Temple does not “hate religion,” but even if they did, this would not disqualify them from being…

Trump with back to camera stands before a frenzied crowd with raised fist.

With ‘Vermin’ Remark Trump Crosses Fully into Nazi Territory

By Robert P. Jones

…ually every national poll—and in recent battleground state polls—a two-way election between Trump and Joe Biden is a tossup.* In PRRI’s recent American Values Survey, conducted in partnership with the Brookings Institution, nearly all voters who supported Trump in 2020 (94%) said they planned to support him in 2024. More than three-quarters of White evangelicals—along with nearly six in ten of both White non-evangelical/mainline Protestants (57%)…

A desolate road in Israel lined with security fencing.

Decadence, Sickness, and Death: Mourning and the Israel-Hamas War

By Shaul Magid

…ing in many more deaths than there otherwise might have been. And many Israelis felt that they were no longer safe within the borders of their own country—precisely what Zionism sought to address. No doubt Israel will continue to respond with terrifying force. But that force will not reinstate Israel’s invincibility. That, I’m afraid, has been lost. There’s no moral equivalency here: Hamas attacked Israel. But the result of that attack changed bot…

Ross Douthat’s Missing Pregnant Women

By Sarah Morice-Brubaker

…knock the United States off its global perch, there has always been one excellent reason to bet on a second American century: We have more babies than the competition. [taps on x-ray board and draws circles with pointy thing] Ah, see, I think we may have a problem in this area here. Because while there is a general sense in which “we” Americans “have babies,” there is also a more specific sense in which “we” women who undergo pregnancies and give…

As a Religious Studies Professor I Disagreed With the Hamline Firing — But Now I’ve Changed My Mind

By Kate Blanchard

…nlightening and heartbreaking. “As a Muslim, and a Black person, I don’t feel like I belong,” she said, “and I don’t think I’ll ever belong in a community where they don’t value me as a member.” I’m largely unfamiliar with Hamline, but it appears to be a majority White school in a majority White state (where I also live), so it’s a safe bet that Muslims make up only a small portion of the campus community, putting them in an already precarious pos…
