By Sumbul Ali-Karamali

…ers is a hardship for the employer. The non-Muslim workers at the plant in Colorado, as well as the community in Tennessee, in giving vent to their anti-immigrant and anti-Islam feelings have missed an important point: whatever their personal sentiments about immigrants or other religions, this country prides itself on freedom of religion.

…assassinations of physicians and others,” said Hern, whose life revolves around the daily effort to provide safety and security for patients, staff, and himself. “So how this person, who’s an anti-abortion activist, can compare what’s happened to him to this other 40 years is quite absurd.” Just today, in a RenewAmerica column titled “Violence against pro-lifers: evil and predictable,” Judie Brown of American Life League writes that, “It is not o…

Jeff Sharlet’s Weird Religion, in 13 Chapters

By S. Brent Rodriguez Plate

…Will a martyr. Meanwhile, Luce needs the wide-open space of east Texas to ground a globetrotting evangelistic enterprise, while Will’s globetrotting activism leans on his grounding in Kenilworth, Illinois.

By Sarah Posner

…educated 30,000 teenagers at his one and two-week conferences at Summit in Colorado and its outposts around the world (including at Oxford) about the evils of atheism, communism, socialism, and other anti-God “statist” worldviews that threaten to destroy America—unless Christians step in to save every soul.

…refusal” case from an anti-gay baker in Colorado (Masterpiece Cake Shop v. Colorado Civil Rights Commission), followed by its highly selective reading of an actual ruling handed down the same day out of Arkansas that directly addressed the issues raised by Pidgeon.

By Daniel Schultz

…sex couple due to his religious beliefs. He was substantially fined by the Colorado Civil Rights Commission, but with the help of the ADF, appealed the case all the way up to the Supreme Court, where he ultimately emerged victorious. The decision was “narrow” in the sense of being limited in scope and more concerned with procedure than setting broad precedent. That didn’t stop Brit Hume, Donald Trump Jr. and other conservatives from crowing about…

By Kara Loewentheil

…e if she filed suit for an injunction from a court protecting her from the Colorado administrative process on the grounds that NOT baking a homophobic cake is part of her religious exercise). But lets say the baker was irreligious. To her, homophobia might be a political or moral issue—but to the customer, it’s (allegedly) a religious one. People generally don’t hold religious and political views that conflict, and when people have political views…
