Santorum and the New Catholic-Evangelical Alliance

By Sarah Posner

…to the poor but rather to the educated middle and upper classes. “I don’t talk politics with them,” he says. “It just so happens that they’re Catholics, and I have to be informed about key issues in order to talk to them, because they’re not just issues to these people — they’re a matter of natural law; they’re a matter of divine revelation and things of that sort. I don’t tell them how to vote on this issue or that issue. Ever. But if it seemed…

Why Darwin Keeps Coming Back

By Peter Manseau

…olution at all.” Could it be that Darwin is so often questioned and so forcefully defended because he provides efficient shorthand for grappling with all the big questions at once? What we talk about when we talk about evolution is not merely biology; it’s about meaning. Which only makes the questions it raises that much harder to answer….

RDBook: Apocalypse Without God

By Nathan Schneider

…he once knew Maybe you should. And that raises the question—Clinton isn’t talking about religion in any way. He didn’t think of his schema as religious, nor did he talk about the history of philosophy. Is he missing something? Heidegger says somewhere that there is a difference between scholarship and thinking. Academics are trained to be scholars and not to be thinkers. It’s similar to the difference between the history of philosophy and philoso…

Conservatives Have Officially Become the Catholic Church’s Tea Party

By Patricia Miller

…vatives are like the Tea Party: They threaten to bring down the church via talk of a schism if they don’t get their way, much like the Tea Party threatens to bring down the government if they don’t get theirs. Talk of schism has been in the air for months, with the supposed threat by some participants to walk out of the synod only adding to the sense that any evolution of church practice on divorce and remarriage is a deal-breaker. And, like the T…

Hagee Hangs On

By Bill Berkowitz

…Hagee and CUFI Executive Director David Brog have tried to steer clear of talk about Israel figuring into any End Times scenarios or of the mass conversion of Jews as an element of it. During its first major congressional lobbying efforts in July 2007, Brog stressed three talking points: “Stopping Iran,” “Stopping Hezbollah,” and “Providing Military Aid to Israel.” “Christian Zionism is an integral element of the most dynamic sector of the religi…

Eddie Izzard on Atheism, Transgender, and “The Invisible Bloke Upstairs”

By Becky Garrison

…t came out, I went to a transsexual/transgender support group, where I was talking to a transvestite lawyer. He said, “I’m looking at it as a gift.” So I thought of this as a positive way of looking at it. It is actually a gift because women talk to me in a different way. If I had more makeup on and was more girly, I think I’d be more sensitive to it, but I’m able to walk around in heels and nails and not give a monkey’s blok about it. If you are…

The End of Roe and School Prayer: America is Not Ready to Be a Christian Nation

By Andrew L. Seidel

…r roadblock for opponents of reproductive rights because it forces them to talk about abortion in unfamiliar and secular terms. Yet Alito’s draft opinion begins and ends with religion. Some will disagree because Alito phrases it as “morality,” but that’s the point: he’s forced to adopt euphemisms for imposing his conservative Christianity on us all. For a brief, clear moment during the oral argument for the very case that this draft opinion decide…

By Bill Berkowitz

…ion rights,” AP reported. “Strang said he’s waiting for the Republicans to talk more about health care and the economy—and is both intrigued and unmoved by Palin. ‘It’s a great story, but I don’t know what’s changed,’ he said. ‘She’s pro-life, but we already knew the ticket was pro-life. She really doesn’t broaden the agenda.’” AP cites a Pew survey taken last fall which “showed under-30 white evangelicals are increasingly up for grabs politically…

Countering the “Countering Violent Extremism” Program

By Elizabeth Shakman Hurd

…ms of politics. As Daryl Li has observed in a provocative article on jihad talk as a form of demonology, “no doctrinal position or school can be identified as causing the actions of jihadi groups.” CVE initiatives are strategies for shaping and controlling the political and religious lives of foreign subjects. Their objective is to generate particular forms of religious and political subjectivity that conform to US interests. If successful, “moder…

Pope Denounces Gender Colonization; Indonesian Court Considers Islamist Request To Criminalize Homosexuality; Egypt’s Grand Mufti Says No One Has Right to Harm Homosexuals; Global LGBT Recap

By Peter Montgomery

…rld because there is at least 20 percent that I cannot even relate to. I’m talking about fanatic Islam and I’m talking about Muslims that are homophobic. But 80 percent of the Arab world today are fighting the same fight that Europe and America are fighting, the common people who just want to live in peace. I can relate to that totally. What would it mean for you if there was a recognized Palestinian state? We don’t really know. I can say for sure…
