If By “American” and “Religious” You Mean “Republican” and “Conservative Christian,” Then Yes…

By Eric C. Miller

…subpoenas as examples of anti-faith atrocity during the Obama administration, each carefully selected for partisan utility, and each highly disputable even among people of faith. “Sadly, these are not isolated instances of government attacking religious practitioners,” he laments. “The list goes on and on.” With primary examples like these, one suspects that Connelly’s list is actually pretty short, and carefully limited to matters of concern for…

McCarthy, Born Again and Retooled for Our Time

By Sarah Posner

…crats (who all admire Fidel Castro, he maintains) are affiliated with socialist organizations that “quite literally comprise a Socialist Red Army within the very contours of the House of Representatives.” To hear Noebel speak, the menace hasn’t abated since his days with the Christian Crusade, which was founded by the disgraced evangelist Billy James Hargis, and was trailed by the FBI, which considered it an extremist group. When I met Summit’s ex…

Lying Boldly: Louise Hay and the Problem of Religious Science

By Peter Laarman

…ding? That must be your “anger and frustration” talking. Hay included this list in her 1984 breakout book, You Can Heal Your Life, which ultimately sold more than 35 million copies after her work with AIDS patients in LA—including the notorious Hayrides—won her celebrity via the Oprah and Donahue shows. It’s not my purpose here to catalog the immense damage done by “think positive—you can do it” trumpery; Barbara Ehrenreich already did that job, a…

Creationism 3.0: Meet Intelligent Design’s Huckster

By Michael Schulson

…f the book he almost acts like one. All of which is to say that a laundry list of errors doesn’t get to the meat of Darwin’s Doubt. Meyer is the finest kind of huckster: he doesn’t tell lies, he merely rearranges truths. Darwin’s Doubt is a toxic blend of hasty conclusions, cracked arguments, and terminological confusions. It’s also, for those who are keeping count, a New York Times bestseller. More plausible than the arguments of 6,000-year-old-…

Wallis Seeking Payback for Obama Defense?

By Kathryn Joyce

…lishment, and bait for hungry Democratic strategists, the diversity of the list shouldn’t confuse pro-choicers about abortion’s staying power as an issue among moderate evangelicals, in play or otherwise. Wallis’ Sojourners is distinct from Dobson’s Focus on the Family, in many ways surely, but in large part, because abortion is not the only “life issue” they care about. But, vote-drunk liberals should remember, that doesn’t mean they’re marching…

Evangelical Author on Why Christian Conservatives Supported Trump

By Eric C. Miller

…touch on race at several points throughout the book, usually as part of a list of Trump sins that white evangelicals were willing to look past. But white evangelicals are a white constituency by definition, and Trump ran a campaign based largely on racial demagoguery. Are white evangelicals more supportive of Trump’s racism than they’re willing to admit? Well I can’t say that they are supportive of his racism, but they are definitely tolerant of…

The Creepy Surveillance of Elf on a Shelf

By Kelly J. Baker

…t interact with children during the day because its role is to observe and listen. The creators, however, encourage children to talk to their elves—especially to share secrets. The elf can learn more about the children, the more they share. Telling the elf secrets seems to secure a space on the nice list. These elves are ubiquitous. They can be purchased from bookstores, Target, and online retailers. Tutus can create girl elves, and sports jerseys…

Colonialism and the Crisis Inside the Crisis of Catholic Sexual Abuse

By Kathleen Holscher

…se itself last year, and another 8 names not appearing on the archdiocesan list are cataloged on the website BishopAcccountability.Org. One lawsuit filed in Albuquerque claims the archdiocesan list should include perhaps dozens of additional names. But even a roster of “just” 82 accused priests means that the archdiocese has been home to 1 alleged abuser for every four-thousand or so present-day Catholics living here. One might compare that to the…

Without Judgment Day or Karma How Does a Humanist Confront ‘Trump Funk’?

By Ivan Strenski

…nfold, my Trump Funk even deepens. Most readers needn’t be reminded of the list of depressing executive actions and policies feeding our collective depression. That’s not why I write now. I do so to try to understand why, after nearly 2 years, the Trump Funk seems a nearly bottomless pit of emotional darkness, worse even than what we’d have the right to expect in the wake of a mere election defeat? Why the oft heard, but inarticulate, lament of pu…
