Apocalypse Now and Then: How a Biblical Genre Shapes American Politics

By Christopher Douglas

…h many conservative white Catholics and mainline Protestants—imagine themselves to be the persecuted faithful, victims of state oppression in the mold of biblical apocalypses. While this might seem ludicrous to outsiders, it aptly captures their sense of the disorder of the last half century as they’ve been compelled to share cultural and political power with other groups. As it did centuries ago, apocalypse channels the persecuted group’s fear, f…

The January 6 Select Committee Cannot Ignore This Christian Movement

By Andrew L. Seidel

…ns/status/1420040247291826178 “It was clear the terrorists perceived themselves to be Christians. I saw the Christian flag directly to my front. Another read ‘Jesus is my savior, Trump is my president.’ Another, ‘Jesus is King’” That Christian flag was carried into battle against America—carried alongside the Confederate flag. It was carried against the police officers protecting the beating heart of our democracy. The terrorists didn’t just parad…

Recognizing (the Long History of) Christian Witches May Be Key to Diversifying Witch Community

By Daniel Wise

…s a powerful source of spells and charms, and the words of scripture themselves were thought to magically ward off evil when worn as a medallion. As Chireau notes, Black American author and ethnographer Zora Neale Hurston observed that Hoodoo practitioners viewed Moses as a powerful African miracle worker and the greatest conjurer. Recent profiles of witchcraft have often focused on young witches who self-identify as pagan and who self-consciously…

As US Reaches a 1940s Fork in the Road — Which Path Will We Choose?

By John Stoehr

…a buildup of chaos in our political, economic and social systems, as unresolved problems feed off each other. In chaotic periods, even small events can have enormous impact. We’re right in the middle of the shift, so it’s hard to see where we’re going. The reason I’m adapting my research on American businessmen working with Nazis in 1940 into a streaming mini-series is because in 1940, it really wasn’t clear which way things were going. That was a…

Praying for a Victory: Packed Supreme Court Takes Up Yet Another Christian Nationalist Cause

By Andrew L. Seidel

…k to weaponize religious freedom, this is unsurprising. The justices themselves alter narratives, history, facts, and reality to reverse engineer decisions that, for instance, allow a 40-foot tall Christian cross to be rebuilt with government funds and remain on government property. The Institute itself has a long history of trafficking in dishonesty and Christian nationalism. It “promote[s] Judeo-Christian values” but wants Christian supremacy, w…

Satanic Harmonies and Zoom Church: Readers Respond

By Daniel Schultz

…er my role as clergy. One of the happiest communions I ever celebrated involved a simple, spontaneous remembrance and breaking of bread at a dinner party. Not many Christians would doubt that Jesus was present in that moment. Nor would they doubt it when Francis of Assissi preached in the wilderness, or John Wesley and his followers held services in the coalfields. So why exactly would it be different in a Zoom service? That’s not a rhetorical que…

Don’t Laugh at Rick Scott’s ‘Plan to Rescue America’ or Be Fooled by Reports of a ‘Backlash’ — His Only Mistake Was Revealing the Truth of Today’s GOP

By Annika Brockschmidt

…speech, color blindness, law enforcement, religious liberty, parental involvement in public schools, and private ownership of firearms.” What reads like a check-list of white Christian nationalist buzzwords actually achieves two things: first, it promotes classic GOP talking points of cutting back Social Security, fighting crime and strengthening border security; and second, it adds the unhinged culture war agenda of the far Right to the mix. Sco…

Kirill’s Sermon May Be Bad Preaching and Even Worse Theology — But it’s a Top-Notch Rejection of Liberal Democracy

By Daniel Schultz

…to be clear, but it has happened before, and some of the big examples involve fighting on the very same land currently being contested. Kirill’s subtlest offense in this homily may have been to introduce a moral element to what is in reality a squalid, garden variety attempt by a reckless dictator to prop up his own position with aggression against a weaker nation. There are no greater values at stake for Russia than Vladimir Putin’s checking acc…

The Right’s ‘Grooming’ Rhetoric Didn’t Begin with QAnon — You Have to Go Back a Bit Further to Get to the Source

By Sophie Bjork-James

It seems that all the Right wants to talk about these days is “grooming.” These accusations became popular recently in Florida with Republicans pushing for a law equating books about LGBT families with pedophiles grooming children. Governor Ron DeSantis’s press secretary, Christina Pushaw, made this explicit, tweeting: “The bill that liberals inaccurately call ‘Don’t Say Gay’ would be more accurately described as an Anti-Grooming Bill.” (The bill…

Black Satanist Candidate Faces LA Sheriff Shakedown

By Joseph Laycock

Steve Hill is a lot of things: A former marine, a former correctional officer, a stand-up comic, and a political candidate. And he’s a Black Satanist who’s spoken publicly about how Christianity is holding the Black community back. Hill also works as a home appraiser and travels in a vehicle with a vanity license plate that reads “4 Satan.” Shortly before the murder of George Floyd on May 25, 2020, Hill was confronted by the Los Angeles County Sh…
