Leave It to Trump to Split a Catholic-Evangelical Bloc That’s Generations Old

By Neil J. Young

Catholics now represent the latest demographic challenge for Donald Trump’s presidential ambitions. As the Washington Post recently reported, a poll from the Public Religion Research Institute found that Catholic voters preferred Hillary Clinton to Trump by a crushing 23 percent margin, 55-32. With less than a third of Catholics intending to vote for him, Trump has fallen well below the support GOP candidates typically enjoy from Catholic voters….

Hamas Bunny Eats Jews

By Hussein Rashid

For those of you who haven’t been following the latest activities of the Islamist group Hamas… In 2007, a character by the name of Farfur was introduced on the Hamas-produced children’s show Tomorrow’s Pioneers. Farfur, the little mouse, bore a striking resemblance to Mickey Mouse and was killed by an Israeli interrogator. I have to say that I think it’s amusing that the outcry against Farfur seemed to have centered around his relationship to Mic…

No More Pencils, No More Books: The Ultimate Goal of All Those Anti-Education Bills That Nobody’s Talking About

By Andrew L. Seidel

…ho’s been working in this space for more than a decade summed it up in her latest book, The Power Worshippers: Inside the Dangerous Rise of Religious Nationalism: “For many supporters, of course, the underlying motive for voucher programs is not to improve education but to eliminate nonsectarian education.” Whatever the latest bete noir of the Right, be it critical race theory, Common Core, desegregated schools, or evolution, destroying public edu…

New Book by Olivier Roy Argues that Aggressive Attempts to Christianize the West Actually Hasten Secularism

By Ivan Strenski

…reason for the season.’ But, it does no such thing. At most, O’Reilly just promoted a bullying cultural identity of the god-fearing GOP “us” against secular-humanist Democrat “them.” Or, again, is this not just more identity flashing; more “identitarian Christianity,” courtesy of the mute frozen images of the thriving Sacred Heart, St. Joseph, St. Christopher, and Miraculous medal industry that Roy writes about? These guys are on my team. Who’s on…

Tomorrow-Less Land

By Louis A. Ruprecht

…not think, in the places we are told to look for it. Many have viewed the latest proposed federal “bailout”—let’s be honest about this, and call it what it is: the federally sponsored purchase of crappy investments in order to keep the real shit from hitting the fan—as the end of capitalism as we know it, and from the perspective of the political right, the socialization of what should be private debt and private failures. On the left, the descri…

Just Your Average Teenage Muslim (Shapeshifter) Girl From Jersey

By Saadia Faruqi

It’s official: Muslims are cool. The latest Muslim superhero in town, Kamala Khan, promises to get people talking about Islam—and not in a bad way. Khan, aka ‘Ms. Marvel,’ isn’t faster than a speeding bullet, but she’s got some pretty nifty powers, including shape shifting, which is something I wish I could do on almost a daily basis. Like all superheroes (and all Muslims these days), Kamala has her share of problems. But instead of a villain or…

Gordon Gekko Gets God: The Heritage Foundation of Theology

By Peter Laarman

…keep up with those Joneses) we were okay with it. It is only now that the latest and largest financial bubble has burst that we are beginning to break through our perceptual bubble to wonder whether entrusting our fates to self-interested and unregulated moneymen was really such a great idea. But I would not count on, say, the bad odor now adhering to the word “banker” to lead to our deliverance from the bankers’ grip. To imagine that we can esca…

“Religious Freedom” and the Conservative Quest for Absolute Truth

By Ira Chernus

…e fine points of the debate about contraception and health insurance, this latest brouhaha raises a much bigger question that urgently needs public discussion but rarely gets enough: In a nation supposedly built on a wall of separation between religion and politics, why are so many voters so often moved by appeals to religion? What’s in a Wall? The best answer I know rests on the very word “wall” and all its metaphoric meanings, as explored…

Alabama Yoga Debate Focusing on the Wrong Question

By Candy Gunther Brown

…ersal-soul (paramatman).” Yet, Zed now argues that yoga will do nothing to promote Hinduism? Regardless of how Alabama resolves its latest bout on yoga, it seems unlikely that controversies over yoga—or the often-paired practice of mindfulness meditation—will disappear any time soon. Indeed, the American Center for Law and Justice (ACLJ) has recently renewed its objections to mindfulness. Yoga and mindfulness point to a key cultural divide over fr…
