Mike Johnson isn’t Just Your Average Christian Right Avatar — He’s Influenced by Fringe Movements Unfamiliar to Most Political Analysts

…heir commitment to implementing the ‘Christian worldview,’ they become involved in government and then rise even higher. Johnson is an example of this kind of career, a person who is ‘one of us’ for the Christian Right, which controls the GOP, and then supports the person, even if he is very inexperienced.” Back in 2018, Posner had already identified Johnson as a “rising star” on the Right in an investigation into the ADF, the driving force behind…

Israel-Hamas is Not a Religious War and This is Not Your Rapture

Hamas’ October 7 attack was monstrous. Hundreds killed at a music festival along with hundreds more in their homes or on the streets. Women and children butchered on a kibbutz in the south. In response Israel launched a massive aerial bombardment of the Gaza Strip, cutting off food, water and electricity to the region. The rhetoric coming out of the Israeli government has raised fears of genocide, with 2.3 million civilians trapped in a tiny stri…

A Christian Nationalist by Any Other Name… Is Still a Christian Nationalist

…s that just because a group of people doesn’t use a term to describe themselves doesn’t mean that the term is inaccurate or that a group who fits the characteristics doesn’t exist. Despite the rudimentary logic at play here, we continue to hear that Christian nationalism must surely not exist, or barely exist, or exist only in the minds of sociologists and political scientists, because so few Americans identify themselves as Christian nationalists…

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

…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…

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

…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…

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

…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…

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

…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…

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

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…

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

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…

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

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…
