Black Satanist Candidate Faces LA Sheriff Shakedown

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…

Sexual Abuse is Inevitable in Christian Patriarchy; Just Take a Look at Doug Wilson’s Christ Church, and its New ‘Documentary’ ‘Eve in Exile: The Restoration of Femininity’

On Sunday, May 22, a third-party investigation of sexual abuse in the Southern Baptist Convention released a nearly 300-page report detailing the cover-up of hundreds of abuse accusations and an overall failure of leaders in the SBC to make any meaningful attempts to deal with abusers in their midst. The report reveals that “survivors and others who reported abuse were ignored, disbelieved, or met with the constant refrain that the SBC could take…

Christian Nationalists and the Holy Gun Crusade

In the wake of every mass shooting in this country, we have a brief moment where we talk about the guns used and the need for gun control. And then rapidly, the gun lobby, conservative politicians, Second Amendment absolutists, and the rest find every conceivable other possible thing to focus on, starting with “thoughts and prayers” and moving on to hardening school buildings. The mass shooting at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas, where th…

Sometimes Dialogue is Not the Answer and Neutrality is a Trap: An Interview with the Authors of ‘The Neutrality Trap’

Regular readers of Religion Dispatches will likely be familiar with my fairly frequent forays into media criticism. In addition to unpacking the ways in which the legacy media and elite pundits reinforce Christian privilege and hegemony, I’ve discussed the ways in which right-wing authoritarians take advantage of journalistic “neutrality,” casting our national discourse into the kind of post-truth realm in which authoritarian actors prefer to ope…

Blinken and ‘Blinkered’: Two Oath-of-Office Stories Embody a Divided America

America continues to divide and migrate toward opposing poles, one in which democratic government is a value and the other in which it’s a barrier to power. Christian nationalism, contributes to this division. The dichotomy floated across my digital timeline recently. I saw, in quick succession, a sober image of a new cabinet official taking the oath of office on the Constitution, followed immediately by a U.S. Representative ranting in a selfie-…

Contrary to Popular Narrative the Supreme Court’s ‘303’ Decision Gutting Civil Rights Laws is not About an Individual Standing Up For Her Beliefs

Today the U.S. Supreme Court gutted our system of civil rights laws that have done so much to advance America’s aspirational promise of equality. Worse, the court eviscerated equality in a case it never should have heard. 303 Creative LLC v. Elenis is basically the same case as the Masterpiece Cakeshop case from five years ago (a.k.a., the “gay wedding cake case”)—only worse. In both, a business sought to discriminate against LGBTQ people. In 201…

How Are the “Nones” Raising Their Children?

What inspired you to write Losing Our Religion: How Unaffiliated Parents Are Raising Their Children? It was really my daughter’s questions that got me started with this. Sheila was three years old—that age when kids will ask why, why, why about everything. She started asking questions about religion. I remember driving home from preschool in December, and she spotted a giant plastic Santa in somebody’s front yard. “Mommy,” she asked, “Why does Sa…

Packed with Threats of Political Violence, Media Largely Ignore the NAR’s ‘Million Women’ Rally in DC

On October 12th one of the most remarkable political statements of any religious leader in this or any election season was broadcast live from an all-day rally of tens of thousands of people on the Washington Mall. The event, called A Million Women, was staged by some of the leading apostles and prophets in the New Apostolic Reformation. As evening fell, Ché Ahn, a Korean American apostle from Pasadena, stepped up to the mic and declared, “I’m to…

The Desire to Annihilate Gaza Wasn’t Born on 10/7 — It’s Part of a Long Tradition that Includes 19th Century Travel Writing

Often referred to as an “open-air prison,” Gaza has been turned into, in the words of British-Israeli historian Avi Shlaim, “an open-air graveyard.” This is the same Gaza that drew the USS Gerald R. Ford aircraft carrier thousands of miles to support a “medieval-style siege” of the tiny enclave following October 7, and invited countless responses as to what to do with it. Jared Kushner, for example, prefers to see Israel “move the people out” of…

Between Butker, Candace Owens, and Nick Fuentes TradCaths are Having a Moment — A Moment With Something to Tell us About Christian Nationalism 

Trads (or traditionalist Catholics) are having a moment. In the last four weeks alone, Kansas City Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker delivered a controversial commencement speech at a conservative Catholic college, right-wing media personality Candace Owens announced her conversion to Catholicism, and White supremacist and Catholic integralist Nick Fuentes returned to X (formerly Twitter) after having been banned for antisemitism. There are certainly…
