…t a bear! Make some stew! I’m hungry in here.” But, perhaps that’s just run-of-the mill hatred and bigotry that he can get away with. What he’s condemning here is clearly violence—something he would never actually advocate himself, right?

I think he could be…

By Candace Chellew-Hodge

Be fair and give justice to the poor and homeless.” Fifty four percent of those asked got it wrong. Hint: It’s not President Obama, which is what 16 percent thought.

That’s when I decided to focus my research on Pentecostalism, not just religion inside prison. Once you had that preparation under your belt, how did you come to choose the prison in Rio de Janeiro for your work? I found the prison through Rio de Paz, a human right group led by a local…

Latest “Religious Freedom” Bills Reveal a New Strategy

By Sunnivie Brydum

…ramework than one that outright condemns LGBTQ people.” Like most of the so-called “religious freedom” legislation we’re seeing lately, the Kentucky law makes no explicit mention of LGBT people, nor does it include the words “sexual orientation” or “gender identity.” Instead, in what critics see as an effort to shield such laws from legal scrutiny, the law positions itself as “viewpoint-neutral,” suggesting that “no recognized religious or politic…
