By Peter Laarman

…Actually, my dears, what is killing the humanities is precisely the empire-in-decline anxiety that drives this report: the sense that Chinese college grads these days might actually know their Moliere and their Montesquieu better than our grads do.

By Andrew Aghapour

…se: Reductionism is often equated with go-away-ism—with claiming that some high-level phenomenon does not really exist. But wait. When we learn that fire really is rapid oxidation—that is the real underlying nature of fire—we do not conclude that fire does not exist. Rather, we understand a macrolevel thing in terms of microlevel parts and their organization. In other words, for Churchland it’s a mistake to confuse an explanation of a phenomenon w…

By Spencer Dew

…h is so ubiquitous as to be invisible (with a detailed article on the fleur-de-lis, for instance, or on a dedicated graffiti wall), the Project also helps its viewers look with the eyes of a religionist at the taken-for-granted manifestations of culture all around them—from the tribalism of local high schools to the “human and mechanical menagerie of the funny and outlandish, mixed with the patriotic” that is the Veiled Prophet Parade. After a pir…

By Andrea R. Jain

…rovided central security for Ramdev, who is now protected by a large, round-the-clock team of Central Reserve Police Force personnel. And Modi’s newly appointed Minister of Ayurveda, Yoga and Naturopathy, Unani, Siddha and Homeopathy (AYUSH), Shipad Yesso Naik, credited Ramdev for having made major advances in popularizing yoga in India, pledging that the ministry would provide “all possible support” for Ramdev in his work on yoga. 6.

Set to Privilege Christianity in Public Schools, Texas Sends a Message About Who is Welcome — And Who is Not

By Steven K. Green

…uggest that Texas is still a “Christian State,” employers, particularly in high-tech and research centers surrounding Houston and Austin, need to attract workers who often come from diverse backgrounds. Religious provincialism can be off-putting to prospective employees. The Texas Legislature is regressing.

By Murali Balaji

…n to national identity. Jindal likely didn’t have peers who could make him feel comfortable in his own skin— their“save your soul” comment was a friendly euphemism for “your religion sucks”—and his quest for acceptance meant disavowing his parents’ culture (and to a more subtle extent, his parents). As the Post notes: His religious education reached a higher plane during his junior year in high school, he told his dinner audience. He wanted to ask…

By Candace Chellew-Hodge

Any real consequences for not following through on a bullying ban, however, would really make the religious right howl. They, and their Tea Party com…

By Benjamin Brenkert

…f the likes of St. Ignatius of Loyola (Chestnut Hill), St. Francis Xavier (New York City), DeSmet Jesuit High School (St. Louis), Georgetown (Washington, D.C.) or the Rock Church (Kansas City)? To those closeted gay priests and seminarians who consecrate the Eucharist and who pray for peace and mercy, the time has come to, as Jesus did, to flip the tables in places of worship, to come out. Be the voices crying out in the wilderness, pray for the c…
