By Sarah Posner

Via the JTA, George wrote at the Archdiocese of Chicago’s blog: Recent comments by those who administer our city seem to assume that the city government can decide for everyone what are the “values” that must be held by citizens of Chicago. I was born and raised here, and my understanding of being a Chicagoan never included submitting my value system to the gov…

By Sunita Viswanath

…a have ignored this uneasy truth. Rather, many of these groups condemn anti-minority violence when it’s committed against Hindus, but then make excuses for anti-minority violence when it’s committed by Hindus.

…nts, (2) the proposed complaint resolution system—where the local chain of command resolves complaints on an ad hoc basis—could worsen that chill on religious speech by having inconsistent applications of unclear rules, and (3) even where a complaint is dismissed, the investigation process itself can create pressure to avoid religious teachings on sexual ethics to avoid being branded as a “troublemaker” or seen as “not a team player.” And given th…

The Problem with the Notion of “Closely-Held Corporations” in Hobby Lobby

By Kara Loewentheil

…ization used by human beings to achieve desired ends. . . . protecting the free-exercise rights of corporations like Hobby Lobby . . . protects the religious liberty of the humans who own and control those companies. Given that, it makes sense only to recognize religious rights for a for-profit entity when the entity’s owners are unanimous in their beliefs and their desired action. If half of the owners of a company believe their religion requires…

By Peter Montgomery

…tarianism and toward social democracy while resisting pressures to embrace free-market fundamentalism. While still sitting president, and before Czechoslovakia split into the Czech Republic and Slovakia, Havel bared his mind, heart, and soul in a remarkable collection of essays written in the summer of 1991 and published in English by Knopf the following year as Summer Meditations. In contrast to Hitchens’ pyrotechnic polemics, these essays are im…

By Sarah Posner

…he listserv (which, with a brilliant lack of self-awareness, is called the Freedom Community): This kind of anti-Israel sentiment is so fringe it’s support by CAP is outrageous, but at least it is out in the open now — as is their goal – clearly applauded by revolting allies like the pro-HAMAS and anti-Zionist/One State Solution advocate Ali Abunumiah and those who accuse pro-Israel Americans of having ”dual loyalties” or being ”Israel-Firsters” –…

We Can’t Have Religious Freedom Without Reproductive Freedom

By Frederick Clarkson and Cari Jackson

…t for Christians to take a pro-choice stance and advocate for reproductive freedom is accommodating to “modern secular beliefs and it flies in the face of the Bible and the historical position of the church.” But contrary to this Manichaean suggestion, reproductive freedom isn’t necessarily an entirely secular matter. Indeed, in addition to the UCC, a number of Christian and Jewish traditions with roots in the colonial era, and many others since h…

By Chrissy Stroop

…e land appears to require it.” Wendler’s efforts earned him days of student-led protests; a lawsuit filed through free speech advocacy organization, FIRE (Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression); and an overwhelming loss in a nonbinding faculty no-confidence vote, which was partly motivated by his cancelation of the student drag show. Because of WT’s West Texas location, the suit went before federal judge Matthew Kacsmaryk, the notorious…

By Chrissy Stroop

…is impossible without religion. A claim, by the way, that is entirely fact-free. And Seidel is certainly correct that Sessions and Barr go much further than the Founding Fathers in claiming, as Barr did in his NRB speech, that moral values “must flow from a transcendent Supreme Being.” Despite Barr’s whiggish praise of “the Anglo-American political system” and his espoused disdain for Enlightenment thinker Jean-Jacques Rousseau, his views on the…

By Patricia Miller

…g against gay people and women), the event has failed to catch on with rank-and-file Catholics. Jon O’Brien, head of Catholics for Choice, which unveiled a front-page ad on Monday in the Washington Post’s Express commuter daily, was among the Fortnight’s critics. “It’s more to be pitied than to be laughed at, it’s not as if they actually have this legion of Catholics behind them,” he said. “Catholics don’t want the persecution of gay teachers at C…
