The Abandoned Orphanage: Hillary Clinton’s Mother Teresa Moment

By Jeff Sharlet and Kathryn Joyce

…eated, yet both—particularly the ever-politic Hillary—understood how behind-the-scenes power politics work within the Christian Right, and responded to the rebuke by finding “common ground” with the nun. Although Clinton didn’t mention this in her public reminiscence last week, after C-Span stopped taping and the breakfast plates were cleared, Fellowship head Doug Coe gently brokered a peace between Hillary and Mother Teresa. Coe left the Breakfas…

Goy to the World: What Does Hanukkah Have to Teach Us About Living in Empire?

By Garret Keizer

…ves. To be part of an empire and to admit as much invites any number of discomfiting questions. If it is dishonest to deny the fact, is it naive not to accept the reality and make the best of it? Might an empire be a force for good? Or is “force for good” an oxymoron? If so, why? And even so, how does a Roman manage, in practical terms, to say no to Rome? My distant neighbor Thomas Naylor, a former Duke economics professor and more recently the fo…

Tariq Ramadan in Montreal: Defining Ethics in Terms of Religion

By Spencer Dew

…inal Revelation to an exemplary human, the Prophet Muhammad, around whom a community of Companions arose, taking pains to preserve this Revelation, word for word, as a template for human action in the world. The problem comes in with the way people—from fellow celebrity thinkers to professional opinion-mongers—react to Ramadan’s deeply held religious beliefs. Bernard-Henri Lévy calls Ramadan “the Genevan imam” and accuses him of hate speech in his…

The Mormon Version of Infallibility

By Holly Welker

…bers cannot ask questions of their leaders, it’s well past time for the all-male hierarchy to ask some hard questions of itself. Each generation of men may be able to persuade a great many people that whatever mistakes were made, they were made in the past by someone else, and the men who tell them today how to live their lives should be obeyed without question. But as Stevens’ points out, at some point, the LDS church must confront the fact that…

The Google Question of Evil

By Michael Schulson

…s that he thought it was “the stupidest rule ever” upon his arrival at the company, “because there’s no book about evil except maybe, you know, the Bible or something.” The contrast between the holy scripture and the engineer’s fist is almost allegorical: in place of a broadly construed set of sociocultural values, Google relies instead on the edict of the engineer….Even back in the pre-IPO salad days of 2003, Schmidt explained “Don’t be evil” via…

Two of Fred Phelps’ Granddaughters Leave Westboro Church of Hate

By Peter Montgomery

…re able to apply for marriage licenses. I was delighted that a group of pro-equality clergy I was volunteering to support drowned out the haters’ shouts by singing “This Little Light of Mine.” But I was deeply saddened by the plight of the young children who had been dragged into the protest by their parents. Now, two young women, granddaughters of Fred Phelps and veterans of those protests, have left their church and family behind and are trying…

Religious Discrimination and the Violence Against Women Act

By Sarah Posner

…was looking at such instances of possible hiring discrimination on a “case-by-case” basis, a vague response that did not fully explain how the Department of Justice was permitting hiring discrimination to occur. In 2012, though, in response to Congressional questioning, the Department of Justice finally made its policy clear: if “a religious organization that applies for funding and requests an exemption under the Religious Freedom Restoration Ac…

Climate Change Denial: A Guide for the Humanities

By Michael Schulson

…le to have this conversation without any reference to human values? Does a New York Times op-ed arguing that “it is time to restore the role of science to a respected place” make it any more likely that the public will “restore the role of science to a respected place”? Religion (for instructors in private schools, universities, or the UK) Ask your students to cite Bible passages that explicitly cast doubt on climate change. When they fail to fin…

American Religion By the Numbers: A Pew Survey Roundup

By The Editors

…ould be a grand mistake. Continue reading CRITIQUES, QUESTIONS, AND SAUVE-QUI-PEUT: LOOKING TOWARD THE FUTURE OF AMERICAN CHRISTIANIT(IES) By Peter Laarman The terrain is indeed shifting as the latest Pew survey results suggest, but it’s not a simple matter of secularization or non-affiliation. My own working assumption is that many of those who will no longer answer “Christian” in answer to polling questions will still be drawn to Jesus as an e…

The Passion of Katniss: How the Hunger Games Confronts the Trauma of Violence

By Michael Schulson

…he kill-and-banter of the action genre. She has transcended the consequence-free violence that animates children’s literature, too. The final Hunger Games movie, out this week, is the conclusion of one of the grittiest, darkest multimedia-blockbusters of the past 20 years—a hit finely keyed to the zeitgeist. I’m talking about PTSD. Don’t take my word for it. Ask some psychiatrists: Katniss Everdeen, the protagonist of Collins’ series, is haunted….
