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…

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…

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

…eople. In 2018, a bakery did the discriminating while today’s decision involves a website design business. The same Christian nationalist legal outfit, Alliance Defending Freedom, is the driving force behind both cases. The same ADF lawyer attacked the same civil rights statute with the same First Amendment arguments in both cases (though the majority focused on speech this time, conspicuously avoiding freedom of religion). The biggest difference…

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…

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…

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

…inclusion” (aka DEI) and how it makes Catholics “keep our beliefs to ourselves” (though he didn’t clarify exactly how Catholic beliefs are diametrically opposed to diversity). He talked mostly about the Latin Mass and the importance of finding traditional Latin Mass (TLM) churches to keep from falling away from “true” Catholicism: As you prepare to enter into the workforce, it is extremely important that you actually think about the places you ar…

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

…sence of indigenous Palestinians on the land and suggesting that Israel evolved organically, rather than from a settler colonial imposition. His current rhetoric, however, is still deeply entangled with his older rhetoric of empire that suggests that Israel did not evolve organically, but was created to protect US interests. For example, in 1986, during his time as a US Senator, Biden suggested that Israel was the United States’s “best $3 billion…

How Are the “Nones” Raising Their Children?

…o be non-religious when they are actually raising them to choose for themselves. Another common misconception, and one that causes concern among None parents, is that it’s better for children to be raised with religion. The evidence is actually very mixed. For example, many studies show that a high level of involvement with organized religion correlates with positive outcomes for youth such as less experimentation with sex, drugs and alcohol, lowe…

Claiming That ‘We Birthed a Nation From Nothing’ CNN’s Rick Santorum Gives a Master Class in Christian Nationalism: An Open Letter to CNN

(I cover the ties between January 6th and Christian Nationalism, including the Jericho March, in a new epilogue for the paperback of The Founding Myth: Why Christian Nationalism is Un-American, due out in August and available for preorder now.) There is a direct line from Santorum’s fallacious history to his bigotry against Native Americans, and it’s…

Stop Trying to Save Jesus: ‘Fandamentalism’ Reinforces the Problem of Christian Supremacism

…uments over the legitimacy of the “fake Christians” framing inevitably devolve into defenses of Jesus. When Jesus stans concede that authoritarian Christians aren’t “fake,” they tend to maintain that they are at the very least “bad” Christians, un-Christlike, not following “the teachings of Jesus,” or even “Christless.” But when I asked Bradley Onishi, associate professor of religious studies at Skidmore College, to weigh in on this question, he c…
