Christian Nationalists and the Holy Gun Crusade

By Thomas Lecaque

…d out every time there’s a politically and religiously motivated mass shooting by a white far right Christian in this country, we know better. There’s an entire apparatus pushing hate and violence. And they’ve branded themselves with a rhetoric and an iconography, and they’ve branded themselves with sacred weapons—maybe not the Holy Lance of the First Crusade, but ever more rapidly approaching the Rod of Iron of their own desired apocalypse….

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

By Chrissy Stroop

…ed and that doom is inevitable than it is to blithely assert that we can solve all our problems if we just put our differences aside. Secondly, we’re not talking about optimism as an emotion but as a belief that what we do can make a difference. We have to hold onto this if we’re going to engage in a sustained struggle for a better world. Of course, there are times when we may feel despair—and we shouldn’t try to suppress this—but we should find w…

Don’t Discount Evangelicalism as a Factor in Racist Murder of Asian Spa Workers in Georgia

By Chrissy Stroop

Today, America is still reeling from the news of the mass murder of eight people at massage parlors in Georgia. Many are rightly calling the shooting spree an act of white supremacist terrorism, as the victims targeted were Asian women. The moment I read that the man who confessed to the murders was the son of a youth pastor who told police he had a “sex addiction,” however, it struck me that we must not ignore the specifically evangelical Protes…

The Failure to Focus on — And Yes, to ‘Cancel’ — Right Wing Antisemitism is a Problem

By Elad Nehorai

…ving apologized and demonstrated a genuine understanding of the issues involved. Yet, when, as journalist Annika Brockschmidt writes, “Marjorie Taylor Greene stood proudly next to a white supremacist and Nazi-sympathizer, Nick Fuentes, at his America First Political Action Conference (AFPAC), where he later praised Putin and Hitler,” there was virtually no fallout. There was an intense spotlight on a Black woman who’d apologized, and almost none o…

Evangelicalism Thrived Because it Enabled White Christians to Avoid Civil Rights Movements According to New Book

By Eric C. Miller

In the course of his remarks to the Family Research Council’s “Pray Vote Stand Summit” on September 14, Southern Baptist Theological Seminary President Al Mohler drew familiar lines on some hot button issues, warning his audience not to “vote wrongly” in the upcoming midterm elections. “What’s at stake,” he said, “is unborn human life,” and “the integrity of marriage,” and “whether biological male means man and boy, and biological female means gi…

As Midterms Approach, White Christian Nationalism is Mainstream for the GOP — And it’s Only Getting Worse

By Annika Brockschmidt

As one might imagine, Yale University’s recent conference on White Christian nationalism and the midterm elections was full of sobering information. And yet, two conclusions managed to stand apart from the rest. First, that the phenomenon is firmly anchored within the Republican and conservative mainstream; and second, that its most fanatical proponents keep moving further and further to the Right. This was illustrated most urgently by Bradley On…

La Carmina, Author of ‘The Little Book of Satanism,’ Talks ‘Satanic Panic,’ QAnon, Japanese Satanism, and More

By Joseph Laycock

…n Satanism, as they mark “the first instances of individuals calling themselves Satanists, and holding Satanic religious values supported by some degree of organization.” The rivalry between The Church of Satan and The Satanic Temple can present an obstacle to researchers. What do you see as the most important differences between these groups? The foundational basis is quite different, as The Satanic Temple takes inspiration from Romantic Satanism…

Celebrating Religious Freedom Day By Taking Back the Revolutionary Meaning of ‘Religious Freedom’

By Frederick Clarkson

…holic bishops (some of whom can be counted among the Christian Right themselves) have sought to redefine religious freedom to include religious exemptions from civil rights laws. Following from the language of the Religious Freedom Restoration Act (RFRA) and the Hobby Lobby decision of the Supreme Court, these are described as “conscience” exemptions. It has since become commonplace for Christian Right advocates to lump “religious freedom and cons…

But What About the Parents? New York Times Falls Into the Anti-Trans ‘Parents’ Rights’ Trap

By Chrissy Stroop

…would partner in a healthy way that nurtures children as they become themselves. But we do not live in an ideal world. We live in a world in which most American states enlist teachers and school administrators as mandated reporters because we know that far too many parents violently abuse their children. We also live in a world in which many parents attempt to force children into roles the children cannot fit into, as exvangelicals or survivors of…

At Launch Rally in Waco, Former President Sets the Stakes for Trump ’24 Campaign with Apocalyptic, Violent, Genocidal Rhetoric

By Annika Brockschmidt & Thomas Lecaque

…g shoulders” he has. Then there are the casual calls for violence against Alvin Bragg, Democrats as a whole, or prosecutors around the country, not to mention the recently adopted apocalyptic refrain that marks the 2024 campaign. To open with an escalatory rally like this presumably sets the tone for his campaign going forward. That last aspect, the apocalyptic refrain, deserves some attention, because it ramps the calls for violence up to the nex…
