By Peter Montgomery

…the weekend, as did Archbishop Timothy Dolan’s offensive campaign against equality. News reports suggest that the negotiations—and the final vote needed to give marriage equality supporters a majority in the Senate—were over the scope of the religious exemptions in the bill. Wavering Republican senators are reportedly seeking broader religious exemptions akin to those contained in New Hampshire’s marriage equality law. CNN and other news outlets h…

Behind New Zealand Terror Attack Is a Problem Bigger Than Islamophobia

By Murali Balaji

…in Norway, Dylann Roof in South Carolina, and now Brenton Tarrant, are self-styled (and self-described) soldiers in a fight against greater threats: secularism and pluralism. While white Christian nationalism has its roots in the United States during Reconstruction, it grew in the 1960s as the evangelical movement attracted new congregants fearful of racial and gender equality activism. Over time, these congregants conflated their racial resentmen…

Why Darwin Keeps Coming Back

By Peter Manseau

…of peace between Darwin’s proponents and detractors, suggests in his forthcoming book, ”Saving Darwin” (HarperCollins, 2008), “the debate about evolution is not about evolution at all.” Could it be that Darwin is so often questioned and so forcefully defended because he provides efficient shorthand for grappling with all the big questions at once? What we talk about when we talk about evolution is not merely biology; it’s about meaning. Which onl…

Global LGBT Recap

…s largely conservative.” But, the story says, the ruling and relatively pro-equality Congress Party is expected to be replaced in upcoming elections by the more conservative Bharatiya Janata Party, which would harm chances for legislation to repeal the colonial-era sodomy law. The bias of many lawmakers is not surprising in a country where homosexuality has still to win wide social acceptance. The challenge to the initial judgment overturning the…

By Austin Dacey

…to their conscience even when it offends the orthodox. Paragraph 32 of the new comment also cautions states against employing a narrow notion of so-called public morals to restrict speech, effectively ruling out laws that defer to a particular faith tradition: “the concept of morals derives from many social, philosophical and religious traditions; consequently, limitations… for the purpose of protecting morals must be based on principles not deriv…

Corporate Personhood Was a Radical Notion… In the 11th Century

By Austin Dacey

…n development as individuals, as well as for social belonging. Much of the freedom Americans enjoy as individuals has evolved in relation to the freedom enjoyed by their corporate organizations, mediated by constraints imposed on those organizations by federal and state governments. As documented in a 2011 article in the NYU Law Review by Darrell Miller, for-profit corporations already possess an impressive list of constitutional rights: some Firs…

Tony Perkins: Atheists Can’t Be Chaplains

By Chris Stedman

…s the board. I feel similarly about the debate over whether to call legally-recognized same-sex partnerships “marriages” or “civil unions;” when one term is normative and certain groups of people—minority groups that have historically been marginalized—are excluded from using it, then the distinction is problematic. “Atheist chaplains are like vegetarian carnivores. They don’t exist!” Perkins writes. He’s likely just trying to be clever, but allow…

Books Must be Hardbound, Quotes Whole, and Genitalia Scrubbed

By Joseph Laycock

…g genitalia, they were told that any parody of religious art is offensive and cannot be displayed. The SBAS stall was then removed entirely from a student fair. Publically mocking religious truth claims probably isn’t very productive, and not all government institutions must be “religion-free zones.” But in a democratic society, the same rules must apply to everyone. These cases point to a pattern of de facto censorship of atheism. The good news i…

By Eric C. Miller

…lowed suit, and both schools continue to reject federal money to this day. Free to run their organizations as they see fit, they are also free from government dependence. Even if you disagree on the particulars, you have to respect the consistency. These days, there is reason for skepticism whenever “religious liberty” clamors to the fore. Researchers have found, unsurprisingly, that frames touting liberties and rights serve as rhetorical veils, a…
