By Julie Ingersoll

…: JB: [Net Neutrality means we] cannot regulate the internet, it should be open and free. Democrats’ definition of Net Neutrality is we want to give FCC the authority to tell people who actually provide the internet [again, they don’t provide the internet, only access to it] what they can and can’t do with it.

Confront Death by Avoiding Fritos: The Gluten Lie, Fad Diets, & Foodie Faith

By Michael Schulson

…You Eat Alan Levinovitz Regan Arts, 2015 It’s harder to pin down why gluten-free diets should have conquered the culture so quickly.

By Michael Schulson

…in the midst of mating. Some fish will eat their own eggs and young. Filter-feeding marine animals like clams cannot control what comes into their siphons, and they suck up their own eggs, sperm, and larvae along with other tasty sea creatures. Some baby caecilians—a kind of legless reptile—chew on their mother’s body. This practice seems less strange when you realize that it serves the same function as breastfeeding. Only instead of milk, the cae…

By Peter Montgomery

…ngs. Meanwhile, the Yes campaign released an ad featuring Harold Hunt, a 91-year-old who recounts the kinds of racial discrimination he faced as an aboriginal Australian.

…rdent and often belligerent literalism. The secular fundamentalists, the so-called new atheists, are equally haughty, intolerant, and combative even while their understanding of religion is wholly reductive. Both types of fundamentalism are altogether indebted to a literal interpretation of Christianity’s myths (e.g., the creation account in Genesis, the Exodus, Jesus’ miracles), which is often accompanied by and bolstered with a stringent moral (…

Why Won’t David Barton Submit to Peer Review?

By Joanna Brooks

…is serious about history, he needs to demonstrate his respect for the time-tested process of peer review, the same way anyone who seeks to publish medical research would submit their findings to the review of their peers. He needs to listen to and acknowledge the hard-wrought findings of those who have devoted their lives to implementing and promulgating the best practices of historical scholarship. And he needs to open his own research to their…

New Poll: ‘Faithful Catholics’ an Endangered Species

By Linda Woodhead

…is understood by people today? What’s more, most of the questions call for open-ended, hydra-headed responses. It’s a mystery how they could be analysed effectively, and a certainty that they will not yield a reliable, transparent measurement of where the weight of catholic opinion lies in any country. As luck or providence would have it, however, I’ve just conducted a scientific survey of Catholic opinion on many of the same issues the Vatican su…

More Americans Support than Oppose Same-Sex Marriage for First Time

By Sarah Posner

…s, the GSS is the only survey that shows these trends over time, using face-to-face surveys of respondents (as opposed to telephone polls). Sherkat performed the analysis on the GSS data following the publication of his 2010 paper, “Religion, politics, and support for same-sex marriage in the United States, 1988–2008,” published in Social Science Research. That paper concluded (as the above data through 2008 showed) that public opinion was indeed…
