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.

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…

…rom which to choose people to deliver prayers, they are making available a list of individuals who are able to deliver an invocation from a secular or atheist perspective.

The C Word

By Candace Chellew-Hodge

…, however, I doubt I could get a job at any of the employers that made the list. You see, I’m not really “their kind” of Christian – because when they say “Christian” – they mean a religious right kind of Christian. Best Christian Workplaces Institute (BCWI) surveyed more than 11,800 employees in 124 organizations “to identify great workplaces with a Christian mission and/or values.” The surveys ostensibly asked about such things as “job satisfact…

By Thomas Lecaque

…en hacked and the donation files were released and made available to journalists and researchers, some of whom are slowly but surely investigating. Out of the vast list, there are comments from donors around the world echoing the rhetoric of Jericho Marches and religious violence and spiritual warfare, alongside more standard comments. What follows is not a quantitative study—one hopes that journalists and social scientists working on far right gr…
