Do White People Think Black People Are Magic?

By Joseph Laycock

…re “legit warlocks,” as Gawker’s Hudson Hongo concluded. Three of the five tests had very small sample sizes and most of the subjects were undergraduates participating in an experiment for partial course credit. For researchers, these results are significant because they advance a theory about prejudice; while similar studies of racial bias have attempted to study how other races may be regarded as less than human, there have been virtually no emp…

A Religion Scholar Gets It Wrong on Indiana’s RFRA

By Danny Fisher

…ntitled “8 Ways RFRA Stopped Discrimination” (or, as he suggests, “Who Is Being Thrown Under [the] Bus in [the] Push Against Religious Liberty”). That piece confuses things badly enough to include the phrase “when Indiana passed the legislation last week,” failing to differentiate the federal RFRA from SB 101 at all (italics mine). Again, the federal RFRA, SB 101, and other states’ RFRAs are not identical just because they all use the moniker “Rel…

Will Infamous ‘Candy Cane Memo’ Resurrect Flailing ‘War on Christmas’?

By Joseph Laycock

…her goal of a strict separation of church and state, but rather failing to understand the underlining constitutional principles or explaining them to staff. Teachers who care about the First Amendment refer to the holidays as “The December Dilemma.” Obviously, a public school cannot mandate students to celebrate a religious holiday. But the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit ruled in Florey v. Sioux Falls School District (1980) that scho…

Jeffress is Both Right and Wrong on Religion & Politics

By Peter Montgomery

…that it is not good for our country to have political campaigns revolve around which candidate’s faith is more sincere, or for policy debates to turn into battles over competing interpretations of scripture. I will be the first to acknowledge that there is plenty of room for honest disagreement about where to draw the lines between what does and does not violate the spirit of the Constitution; what is and is not the appropriate way to mix religion…

Carson’s Lead Shows Evangelicals Care More About Politics Than Religion

By Sarah Posner

…Iowa Republican caucus-goers “remain uncertain about Trump’s Christian credentials. Only about a third consider him a committed Christian, while 28 percent say he isn’t and 40 percent say they’re not sure.”) Ben Carson has spent years burnishing his credentials as a religious right ideologue, and has invited little examination of his Adventist faith. He speaks liberally of preserving the “Judeo-Christian nation.” He speaks of his own faith, his s…

In Praise of Failure: Is Defining Religion Such a Good Idea?

By Ivan Strenski

…om India as a “religion,” but soon became something else as it took up residence with Occidental bourgeoisie in the suburbs. Yet, as recent protests against yoga classes in public schools by evangelicals in the United States witness, some Americans fear that Yoga’s non-Christian religious character lies hidden within it, ready to ensnare unsuspecting faithful. That yoga instructors often stage classes with joss stick incense burning, mutterings of…

The “Batsh*t Crazy” Party’s Candidates Assume Their “Religious Liberty” Stances

By Patricia Miller

…on’t sell to somebody who’s divorced. I mean, if you’re in the business of commerce, conduct commerce. That’s my view. And if you don’t agree with their lifestyle, say a prayer for them when they leave and hope they change their behavior. So, to tally it up: Kasich is pro-gay-cupcakes (with a prayer), but still pledges to protect the rights of “religious institutions”; Cruz is a “crazy zealot” for religious liberty; And Trump doesn’t really unders…

The Divide Between “Trumpvangelicals” and the Rest of Us

By Jonathan Orbell

…s not “real evangelicals” who are buoying Trump’s brutish bid for the presidency, then perhaps my faith community is off the hook. We “committed believers” can turn to the rest of the nation, throw our hands in the air, and proclaim our innocence. It’s not us, it’s those damn Jacksonians! But it’s not that simple. This business of distinguishing between “real” believers and “cultural” or “Jacksonian” ones brings up an age-old question: what classi…

The Top 10 (Non-Religious) Religious Films of 2017

By S. Brent Rodriguez Plate

…nkins), is worth sitting up and paying attention to, particularly after a Weinstein-infused end of the year. It may only pass the Bechdel test because of its first five minutes, but Wonder Woman continues some of the best of audio-visual storytelling, telling us why Hollywood is the most powerful mythmaker on planet earth today. 8) The Disaster Artist There’s little religion in this film, but James Franco’s quirky project points out the ways fil…

Pope’s ‘Joy of Love’ Brings Little Joy To LGBT Catholics; Gay Atheist Malaysian Granted Refugee Status In Canada; Global LGBT Recap

By Peter Montgomery

…and the Anathematization of Gender.” Case argues that the doctrine of the complementarity, “under which the sexes are essentially different though not unequal” is “an invention of the twentieth century” developed in part by Popes from Pius XII through Benedict XVI “in part as a response to feminist claims, including those recently anathematized by the Vatican under the term ‘gender.’” After more than a year of stonewalling by the Vatican, French…
