By Sarah Posner

…st Kenneth Copeland while he was under investigation by the Senate Finance Committee. Paul’s opposition to the Iraq War got his attention, said Wead, who says he knew that there were no weapons of mass destruction, and that “we were conned.” Wead, who was instrumental in intertwining religious conservatives in presidential politics, now says he’s undergone a conversion: he thinks evangelicals have been led astray by the culture war focus on establ…

DADT Repeal: The New “Religious Freedom” Issue

By Sarah Posner

…g Christian to choose between serving country or obeying God? As usual, set-up is that gay rights and religious liberty are incompatible. The former can’t happen without undermining the latter. As ADF president Alan Sears likes to say, “the homosexual agenda and religious freedom are on a collision course.” That from a man who believes that said “homosexual agenda” “probably includes the abolition of marriage, but also the silencing of speech [con…

Cheese State Reality Check: On The Wisconsin Idea and the Social Gospel

By Daniel Schultz

…t should be said, is the best case scenario. The worst case is that already-common perception that “religious liberalism” is an oxymoron continues to spread and any kind of politics rooted in faith is pushed to the margins. We’re already at a point where religious symbolism fails to capture the imagination of the broader world of committed citizens. Pink pussy hats, for all their flash-in-the-pan-ness, are more motivational than clergy parading ar…

This is not a Religion Column: Sarah Palin, American

By Jeff Sharlet

…. The Spelvins of the world were servants, butlers, messengers, clerks, men-on-the-street, and passersby. Pegler’s Spelvin, though, was an early Archie Bunker. Union men, uppity women, swells, bubbleheads, and, eventually, foreigners, blacks, and Jews all gave George Spelvin a stomachache. In 1942, Spelvin went looking for a job because “Mrs. R.” (Roosevelt) had “said she thought everyone should be ordered what to do by the government,” and her or…

Ground Zero is Sacred Space, But Not Just Because of 9/11

By Randall Balmer

…. Many colonists blamed the slave uprising of 1712 on Elie Neau, a Huguenot-turned-Anglican and an early advocate for abolition who ran a school for Africans in New York City. Roman Catholics arrived in greater numbers in the nineteenth century, from places like Ireland, Germany, and Italy. As with other groups, finding their place in the rich tapestry of American diversity did not always come easy. John Hughes, who became the first archbishop of…

McCain’s VP Courts Conservative Evangelicals

By Kathryn Joyce

…servative stronghold largely given over to WalMart’s interests, the then 32-year-old Palin’s campaign supporters ran a quiet sub-campaign based on Palin’s pro-life and pro-gun politics: issues that critics charged would never arise in the office she was running for. In a sharp Anchorage Daily News profile from 2006, writer Tom Kizzia wrote that Palin’s continuing political persona has been the offer of “fresh ideas” never clearly elucidated, and r…

Religious Liberty…For Bishops

By Tom Davis

…Board of Rabbis issued a statement against the hospital policy. So did the New York Protestant Council. The Diocese of New York fought to keep the policy as it was. After a 4 month fight, the Board of Hospitals agreed to change the policy, meaning that birth control would be allowed in the public hospitals of New York City. There were many fights like that. But in this current controversy, only one religious voice is being heard despite the fact t…

By Rebecca Sager

…ion. Perhaps in the wake of the tragedy in Ferguson there will be a renewed vigor from progressive churches that will help repair old coalitions, build new ones, and tell a new story about who gets to speak “for religious people.”…

New Poll: Evangelicals Backing Trump

By Daniel Schultz

…up even higher totals. In some ways, you could see 2016 as the Evangelicals-vs.-Nones election. The two groups will approach rough parity as Sanders voters get behind Clinton, however grudgingly. Because the Nones are somewhat more evenly distributed across the nation than evangelicals, a stalemate favors Clinton. It does Trump no good to ring up a super-majority in Mississippi when Clinton can flip North Carolina, for example. My colleague Neil J…

The Omission of the “New” Evangelicals

By Tom Davis

…civil unions. These developments please a lot of people; the press gets a new narrative and the Democrats eye a widening pool of potential evangelical voters. Two recent books, Souled Out: Reclaiming Faith and Politics After the Religious Right by E.J. Dionne and The Party Faithful: How And Why Democrats Are Closing the God Gap by Amy Sullivan, both describe a changing situation in which evangelicals and other serious religious people will not au…
