…revocation of Bob Jones University’s tax-exempt status for its interracial dating ban as motivating forces for the religious right. Sasse conceded “nativist passions and racist status anxiety surely comprise part of the story, but not the whole of it.” Instead, he argues, the religious right “is better understood first as a consequence of fears about top-down communism—and about the evaporation of a religious understanding of the nation—than as si…

United States, rightly refused to grant an exemption to anti-discrimination laws based on religion.” With its claim that the “commitment” of the United States regarding “religious freedom and conscience is at its heart, covenantal,” the Charter appears to be trying to…

By Patricia Miller

…ty” movement’s insistence on front-porch courtships and chaste, chaperoned dating where a couple wouldn’t even exchange so much as a kiss until they were engaged? If the sons of the right were following their own side’s prescriptions for sexual morality, it seems like they wouldn’t have a whole lot to worry about.

By Frederick Clarkson
