Is There Anyone in the Press Who Can Recognize the Bad Faith in Evangelical Faith?

By John Stoehr

…rapple with Herschel Walker’s controversial image.” “Grapple” connotes soul-searching, but the interview subject, Timothy Head of the Faith & Freedom Coalition, didn’t seem as vexed by the choice as much as he was vexed by press corps’ scrutiny of it. NPR clearly doesn’t have anyone in a key position who was born into, but left, an ultra-conservative religious tradition. If it did, the radio network wouldn’t have given Head a chance to explain why…

When Is Hosni Mubarak?

By Haroon Moghul

…vernment, perhaps a unity coalition guaranteed by the military, leading to free and fair elections after the shortest time possible within which campaigning can be organized. This requires all the stakeholders on the ground, who are not representatives of the dictatorship, to come to the table, and to receive guarantees both from one another but also from regional powers who can help nudge the process forward. The military has won itself a seat at…

Final (Probably) Thoughts On The Aqua Buddha Ad

By Sarah Posner

…ike the reporter Jason Zengerle, who broke the story, think he’s just a fun-loving, anti-authoritarian prankster. (That’s the beauty of a conservative Christian Ayn Rand devotee — they can simultaneously embrace and reject God and get away with it, somehow.) I don’t think the Aqua Buddha ad should have backfired on Jack Conway. Democrats hung him out to dry in a series of denunciations that the National Republican Senatorial Committee used in its…

How to Prevent Ethnic Cleansing in Syria

By Haroon Moghul

…lines we’ve imposed on the Middle East—of secularists versus Islamists, of free-thinking liberals versus religious autocrats, and so on. That view misses the bigger and potentially bloodier point. Democracy’s Dark Side In America, we’re accustomed to believing democracy and diversity go hand in hand—we are obviously pluralistic. But that’s because we assimilate different individuals to a single national identity. Canada’s challenge with Quebecois…

Rubio’s Awkward Balancing Act Between Evangelicals and Catholics

By Patricia Miller

…issues, particularly abortion, with equally strong support for Republican free-market economic policies. Many of these conservative Catholics, especially those in the public eye, have become more outspoken in asserting a “gospel-centered”, biblical morality in the public square as central to their Catholicism. This is a departure from more conventional notions of Catholicism that focus on private religious practice and charitable works. Rubio’s a…

NC’s Gay Marriage Ban: “It’s Going to Hurt the Church”

By Nicole Greenfield

…against Amendment 1 in North Carolina. Referring to Bakker’s theological “feel-good stance” as “cheap grace,” Rev. Mark Creech of the Christian Action League attributed Bakker’s preaching of a “toxic and counterfeit gay-affirming gospel” to being injured by the church as a child. “In some ways he’s right,” Bakker told me in response. “It’s called empathy.” He continued: “Every time someone accuses me of cheap grace, I go back and say no, it’s fre…

‘Rising Global Tide’ Of Anti-Gay Crackdowns; More in Global LGBT Recap

By Peter Montgomery

…ciated with the West. As political scientist Emil Edenborg explains in his new book, LGBT rights have been characterized as the key difference between the West and more traditional societies such as Russia and Azerbaijan. After years of media framing, Edenborg argues, many in “traditional societies” conflate LGBT people with the West’s imagined attack on traditional, national moral values. That’s how the Azerbaijani government is portraying the re…

Satanic “Black Mass” at Harvard Excites Conservatives

By Joseph Laycock

…But the controversy over the Harvard black mass shows that Christian claims-makers can easily re-appropriate the symbols of evil for their own purposes. In the 1970s, Mike Warnke, a minister who falsely claimed to have been a Satanic high priest, toured the country in a “witchmobile.” This was a mobile “museum” of artifacts allegedly used in witchcraft. The witchmobile allowed Warnke’s audiences to experience a sense of propinquity with extraordin…

Romney’s Debate Coach and his Religion Answer

By Sarah Posner

…s based upon those values and ethics. And in some cases, our law doesn’t encompass — encompass all of the issues that we face around the world. The conviction that the founders, when they wrote the Declaration of Independence, were writing a document that was not just temporary and not just for one small locale but really something which described the relationship between God and man — that’s something which I think a president would carry in his…

Are Atheists The New Campus Crusaders?

By Katherine Don

…ar Coalition For America is an umbrella lobbyist group for a number of once-competing groups, including American Atheists, the Council for Secular Humanism, and the American Humanist Association. These “adult” organizations support the growth of campus groups. American Atheists offers scholarships to student activists, noting that “special attention is given to those students who show activism specifically in their schools.” The American Humanist…
