By Candace Chellew-Hodge

…he old saw that marriage was primarily for procreation. He angered the anti-marriage equality camp when he wrote an op-ed in the New York Times reversing his opinion. For me, the most important is the equal dignity of homosexual love. I don’t believe that opposite-sex and same-sex relationships are the same, but I do believe, with growing numbers of Americans, that the time for denigrating or stigmatizing same-sex relationships is over. Whatever o…

By Mark Juergensmeyer

…he old guard does not want to form a political party, for example, but the new Freedom and Justice Party is largely made up of independent Muslim Brotherhood members, and younger Brothers have sought to form other political parties. There is also an indication that the current military rulers are forming alliances with old Muslim Brotherhood leaders in an attempt to provide popular legitimacy to the regime and to insure the Brotherhood’s electoral…

By Keri Ladner

…hy were prominent leaders and lay people in the NAR, a movement that has become the face of the Christian Right, openly colluding with White skinheads in an effort to overthrow the US government? As we seek to understand this alliance it may help to keep in mind that, while the 1980s Christian nationalism of Jerry Falwell and his movement was tangentially connected to the Ku Klux Klan, the New Apostolic Reformation actually emerged as a splinter f…

A New, Softer Prosperity Gospel Still Can’t Deliver On Its Promises of Health and Wealth

By Verdell A. Wright

…mize the ills of society and place the blame for systemic injustice at the feet of the defenseless. Prosperity theologies obscure the strong cultural and institutional critique that can be found in the scriptures and in liberation theologies of marginalized communities. But labeling all prosperity beliefs as greedy, unlearned, or uncultured will not rectify the issue. Problematic as they are, these are the beliefs of everyday people who are using…

The Progress of Christ in Commercial America: A Review of Chris Lehmann’s The Money Cult

By Peter Laarman

…ently cleared the way, spiritually, for capitalism’s next advance within a newly-cleared psychological and political space. In a word, American Protestantism sanctified the market before the market even asked to be sanctified. It is profoundly depressing to acknowledge this, but Lehmann shows how capitalism has never had to point a gun at religion’s head to win the day: our “once austere” religion did this to itself. He vividly surfaces this sad r…

…question was answered by the Egyptian government last week when the 27-year-old computer science student was convicted for “contempt of religion” in Cairo. Saber was taken into custody on September 13 by the police after an enraged mob stormed his house, beating him and threatening his mother, a Coptic Christian.

By Bruce B. Lawrence

…s, though instead of framing his argument as “Europe’s Angry Muslims,” his new book is titled The Emancipation of Europe’s Muslims: The State’s Role in Minority Integration (Princeton University Press, 2012). Laurence traces what Caldwell denies ever could, or might already, exist: the largely unnoticed ways in which European governments have integrated both Muslims and Muslim organizations into public life. It is a two-stage, bi-directional proce…

New Poll Shows Strong Catholic Support for Gay Rights

By Candace Chellew-Hodge

…equality, so his claim that Catholic support for civil unions could be bad news for full equality is likely off the mark. “If Catholics that support civil unions are counted among those favoring same-sex marriage, then a majority of Catholics support same-sex marriage,” he said. “If, on the other hand, civil union supporters are counted among those who oppose same-sex marriage, then the majority of Catholics oppose same-sex marriage by 55 to 43 pe…

New Poll Shows Most Americans Don’t Care about Romney’s Mormonism

By Joanna Brooks

…k as well as by the LDS Church’s own heavy, decades-long investment in anti-LGBT equality politics. But what about white evangelical Christians who should be natural allies with Mormons on social conservative issues, especially opposition to marriage equality? Credit more than a century of anti-Mormon dogmatism by evangelical Christian preachers, including overt media and organizing campaigns to depict Mormons (and not just our beliefs) as “danger…
