Not Peace, But Division? Evangelical Vaccine Refusers Divide Families

By Chrissy Stroop

…formation infrastructure since the 1960s, when Christian schools began to become common as a means of reinforcing white supremacist patriarchy in the face of civil rights gains. I suspect there’s no scalable way to bridge the deep divides among Americans that pandemic conditions and recent protests over racial injustice have thrown into stark relief. And, while it might help if the “respectable” evangelicals who support vaccination would take some…

Reactions to Biden’s Korean-American Secret Service Agent Expose Christian Nationalism’s Anti-Asian Side

By Lucas Kwong

…co-founders and a vocal supporter of the open letter, religiosity has inflected at least 3 known incidents of anti-Asian hate. Like the anonymous vandalizers who spray-painted “JESUS” on a Buddhist statue in Los Angeles, these harassers merely applied the theology that Gosar, Blackburn, and the 12 other politicians named in the letter explicitly or implicitly affirm. The anti-Buddhist vandal only illustrates how these soldiers for Christ blasphem…

Leper Messiah: A Jesus Freak’s Search for the Meaning of Bowie—A Critical Novella

By Mark Dery

…ool, onstage and off, was beginning to tell on him. “It was quite easy to become obsessed night and day with the character,” he later recalled. “Everybody was convincing me that I was a messiah…” Returning for an encore, Bowie leans into the mic with a knowing, almost coy smile. “Of all the shows on this tour, this particular show will remain with us the longest because not only is it the last show of the tour, but”—pause for dramatic effect—“it’s…

Including Bono on Glamour’s “Women of the Year” List is Two Steps Backwards

By Sunnivie Brydum

…ecessarily untrue, it feels almost spiteful to include a man—who will now become the main focus of countless media pieces about Glamour’s list—in an exercise that’s intended to lift up women, especially in a year that has been so marred by unapologetic misogyny from the highest ranks of (at least one) major political party. “When a major male rock star who could do anything at all with his life decides to focus on the rights of women and girls wor…

#WhiteChurchQuiet: Anything but Outrage Is Complicity

By Andre E. Johnson

…g soon went viral, generating hundreds of tweets and retweets and quickly becoming a Twitter trending topic. Johnson will be hosting a #WhiteChurchQuiet live tweet session tomorrow, September 28th at 10pm EST. After hearing the news that law enforcement officials had shot and killed two more black men, I braced myself. Invariably from some of the protesters and others within the black community, there is the refrain, “Where is the Church?” What th…

Conservative Christian Book on Obama’s Faith

By Bill Berkowitz

…t “Gen. Boykin gave many in the field just the kind of warrior code they needed to fulfill their duties with moral passion.” In an extensive, and highly-documented, review of Mansfield’s Ten Tortured Words, Rodda, pointed out that the book was shot full of a series of historical errors and noted that “Mansfield makes David Barton, whose masterpiece of historical revisionism, Original Intent, is listed in the bibliography of Ten Tortured Words, alm…

Searching for Sex, Life and Abortion on Catholic Google

By Kate Childs Graham

…on contraception. If I had searched on normal Google, I would have been directed to articles on contraception, how to properly use birth control, and where to purchase contraceptives. Thank goodness CatholicGoogle.com saves us from that blasphemy! The same happened when I searched “stem cell research,” “sex,” “life” and “abortion.” All the articles reinforced the institutional Catholic Church stance on the subjects. Surprisingly, the editors of th…

“Japan Gave Us Pokemon, God Gave Them an Earthquake”

By Anthea Butler

…urported 2012 “end of the world” to explain the seismic activity. I’ve collected a sample of these below for you to see through Google’s real-time twitter feed. From the small sample, it’s safe to say there is a “fatalistic” understanding that natural disasters are about sin or God’s wrath. Even insurance companies think so, placing the phrase “Acts of God” as a catchall for everything unexplainable and destructive. Disasters seem to bring out som…

But What Did We Learn? Hate-Watching the First Clinton/Trump Debate

By Candace E. West

…w from it all? I think tonight’s debate was exactly what we should have expected after the three-ring circus that’s gotten us here. Afterward, NBC’s Nicole Wallace said: “In the sum of the performance from each, she certainly looked more presidential. I’m just not sure that’s the standard by which we’re going to pick the next president.” Tom Brokaw agreed, saying that he didn’t think anybody would be changing their vote after tonight’s debate. And…

Yes, It Can Be Hard to Be an Atheist in America; Now We Have the Data

By Chrissy Stroop

…26.3% reported that sometimes, frequently or almost always “others have rejected, isolated, ignored or avoided me” and 17.3% reported sometimes, frequently, or almost always being excluded from social gatherings and events because of their nonreligious identity. When RD recently spoke with American Atheists’ Gill over the phone, she also noted that her organization and others like it “hear from constituents every day who have complaints about thei…
