Gun Ownership as Sin—A Strategic, Secular Proposal for Gun Reform

By Ira Chernus

…s like Samuel Colt, Oliver Winchester, and Richard Gatling are high on the list of America’s industrial pioneers. Their products, along with other famous gun names, have become icons in the history of American technology. When gun owners talk about their love for these marvelous machines, there is sometimes a palpably erotic tone to their words and voices. Which leads to another obviously masculine virtue so often associated with guns: virility. T…

None Means None (Not Atheist, Agnostic, Unbeliever…)

By Elizabeth Drescher

…are unbelievers. Indeed, those RD readers who rightly noted that my recent list of “must-reads on Nones” did not include material on unbelievers per se will find his CV a bibliographical treasure trove. (As an aside, a fuller list of resources on non-believing Nones is in the works.) But it hardly opens up the real diversity of religious, nonreligious, or irreligious perspectives among the religiously unaffiliated. I’m beginning to wonder if the h…

LGBT Justice, Meet Religion; Religion, Meet Your New Gay Friends

By The Editors

…r, over the years, we have seen that paradigm change. 2012 witnessed religious people and organizations at the forefront of LGBT advancement.” This from Ross Murray, at GLAAD, as part of an introduction to a list of Five LGBT Religious Advances of 2012. It’s a short list, but each item is a biggie: marriage equality, Catholic support, pro-LGBT Mormons… hey, next year we’ll get a proper Top Ten. …

A Dismayed Democrat Reads the Bible

By Candace Chellew-Hodge

…experience exactly what he does. In addition to that, when Paul provides a list in 1 Corinthians 15:3-8 of the people to whom Jesus appeared he not only uses the word ‘appeared’ four times, which is standard for a vision, he includes himself in that list. Paul sees the experiences that the other followers of Jesus had of Jesus after his death as belonging in the same category as his own. Finally, for me the question isn’t whether or not the resurr…

Evangelical Author on Why Christian Conservatives Supported Trump

By Eric C. Miller

…touch on race at several points throughout the book, usually as part of a list of Trump sins that white evangelicals were willing to look past. But white evangelicals are a white constituency by definition, and Trump ran a campaign based largely on racial demagoguery. Are white evangelicals more supportive of Trump’s racism than they’re willing to admit? Well I can’t say that they are supportive of his racism, but they are definitely tolerant of…

Lying Boldly: Louise Hay and the Problem of Religious Science

By Peter Laarman

…ding? That must be your “anger and frustration” talking. Hay included this list in her 1984 breakout book, You Can Heal Your Life, which ultimately sold more than 35 million copies after her work with AIDS patients in LA—including the notorious Hayrides—won her celebrity via the Oprah and Donahue shows. It’s not my purpose here to catalog the immense damage done by “think positive—you can do it” trumpery; Barbara Ehrenreich already did that job, a…

Year-End Best Books in Race and Religion in American History

By Paul Harvey

…tion here. Clark’s work comes from the archives of the Afro-Creole Spiritualist group Cercle Harmonique from 1858 to 1877. By focusing on Afro-Creole Spiritualism in New Orleans, we get an extended, as well as intimate, look at how one very particular group, mostly men and free people of color, envisioned their ideal society through the voices of spirit mediums. In doing so, they drew from French thinkers and historical experiences (including ever…

What Religious “Hostility” Looks Like

By Evan Derkacz

…find is focused on Christians (judging only, mind you, by the couple dozen listed on the website, since the PDF download of the entire list malfunctioned). So, assuming the remaining five-hundred something are largely or exclusively focused on hostility toward Christians, the survey would more accurately be called Christian Hostility in America (which really highlights the ambiguity in the survey’s title, I think); and 2) Given the auspicious timi…

3 Reasons Catholic Bishops Are Holding Their Tongues on GOP Health Care Debacle

By Patricia Miller

…raceptive mandate for any reason, which has long been on the bishops’ wish list, but have a history of attacking contraception in general. Katy Talento, who is now a White House domestic policy aide, has warned of the (false) health risks of oral and other hormonal contraceptives, charging that they are carcinogens, ruin women’s fertility and cause miscarriages. And, like the bishops, she suggests that natural family planning, which has the highes…

Gay, Black, and Quaker: History Catches Up with Bayard Rustin

By Leigh Eason

…ted States. But, in part at his own request, his name was omitted from the list of authors, a “regret[table] failure” that was rectified only in 2010 by a minute of the AFSC Board restoring his name to that list. Martin Luther King relied on Rustin’s advice and expertise, but that did not always insulate the committed activist (or his role in the movement) from the climate of the time. Adam Clayton Powell, the powerful African American congressman…
