…” amount of force or “too little” force in Gaza, according to a mid-January 2024 poll.

An Interview with Rep. Jamie Raskin on the Feminist and Abolitionist Founder Who Has Slipped into a Memory Hole

By Andrew L. Seidel

…today—this is the paragraph Rep. Raskin quoted at the Summit for Religious Freedom in April 2024—think of what it must have been like to read or hear those words in the bleak winter of December 1776. The American people needed a victory on which to pin the last shreds of their hope. They needed a win. General Washington had Paine’s words read aloud to his soldiers on Christmas night before they crossed the Delaware River and routed the British and…

A New Book Traces the Influence of Racism and Imperialism on White Christian Feminism

By Caroline Matas

…le inasmuch as Americans understand it to comport with their own vision of freedom and progress—a vision largely defined by White Protestants.

By Daniel Schultz

…in the current network driving this missionary work? Evangelicals have no central figure and they’ve multiplied into hundreds of thousands of small churches, all independent. You don’t need to be educated to become a pastor. So they grew in Brazil, [in the rest of] Latin America, and in Africa—everywhere—kind of in this crazy way and they’re all very independent. So it’s hard to track the money. For example, Luis is an independent. I spent 10 yea…

Comparing Gender Transition and Surrogacy to War and Human Trafficking, Vatican’s ‘Dignitas Infinita’ is an Intellectually Embarrassing and Harmful Mess

By Mary E. Hunt

…riters of this woefully inadequate document. Unbelievable as it may seem in 2024, and given the focus on issues like sex and gender, the 116 footnotes to this document include exactly no references to anything written by a woman. And, nearly half (at least 56) of the references are to the writings of Francis with most of the rest related to other church documents. This alone results in remarkably thin gruel. It suggests that remedial work is in or…

‘Leaving is Never So Simple as Stepping Over a Line’ — A Conversation with the Author of ‘Rift,’ a New Memoir on Christian Patriarchy

By Audrey Clare Farley

…ical thinkers. All of this poses a threat to high-control religion because freedom of thought means a loss of control. We can see this in the recent book bans and libraries closing. Some libraries are becoming “adult only.” It’s a tragedy because kids like me in abusive or restrictive homes won’t be able to access the place where many find freedom: the public library. In the book you use “rift” to refer both to your separation from Christian patri…

Historian Matthew Stewart Upends the Widespread Belief that 19th Century U.S. Christianity Was On ‘The Right Side of History’

By Peter Laarman

…years in the White House. Lincoln’s junior law partner, William Herndon, a freethinker himself, carried on an extensive correspondence with Parker and made sure that Lincoln read Parker’s voluminous speeches and articles (which Lincoln was happy to do). In fact, Lincoln’s famous line about a “house divided” originated with Parker. The energetic and prodigiously gifted Parker, still claimed by today’s Unitarians as a denominational demigod, was, ba…

…ight voters with the right issues” coming to the polls this election and in 2024. After 2020 Republican losses in Georgia, it’s telling that the Family Research Council brought the conference to Atlanta. Mohler reminds the audience that, come November’s midterm elections, the whole country “will be looking at Georgia.” Georgia’s Senate hopefuls Herschel Walker and Raphael Warnock were both invited to speak at Pray Vote Stand on Friday. Neither is…

Boo! Trump’s Lead With Religious Voters Not As Bigly As You Might Think

By Daniel Schultz

…n been noted that Trump is turning minority voters more firmly against the Republican party, an alliance that’s likely to endure. What’s less remarked upon is what a gender-based split among religious voters would do. If the usual Democratic gender gap begins to replicate itself among conservative white women, it will deny Republicans support among a swing vote (Catholics) and perhaps even their base (Evangelicals and Mormons). That’s a real possi…
