Meddling Bishops Accuse Clinton of Meddling

…No other position—not support of the death penalty, cuts to social safety net programs or enthusiastic military incursions—has caused the bishops to shun candidates. At the same time, many bishops have been happy to sway Catholics toward an increasingly polarized and polarizing Republican Party over the issues of abortion, same-sex marriage and “religious liberty.” In fact, the loudest chorus of boos for Trump last night came when he said Clinton…

Andrew Sullivan Really Took This Opportunity to Misread Intersectionality?

…igned letters calling Murray’s appearance at the college unacceptable and unethical, and over 55 faculty members requested that President Patton not introduce ‘a discredited ideologue,’” the school went ahead with the engagement as planned. In his largesse, Sullivan does grant that “protests against Murray are completely legitimate,” before spending the rest of the article maligning the methods and motivations of those who protested Murray’s appea…

Atheists of Color Transcend Opposition to Religion and White Atheist Privilege in Working for Social Justice

…nd whites has increased, straining an already frayed social welfare safety net, people of color are seeking faith-based assistance in greater numbers. In many respects, Trumpian right wing religious attacks on the Johnson amendment, public education, abortion rights, reproductive justice and LGBTQI rights have re-energized secular activism.

More Popular Than The Pope

…estimated that while 1-in-3 Americans were raised Catholic, only 1-in-4 still consider themselves Catholic—meaning that nearly 10% of Americans are former Catholics. The Pew Forum described Catholicism as experiencing the greatest net losses of any faith. Finally, it must be asked: why does the Vatican care? Christianity has never been a popularity contest (Jesus definitely was not a prom king). Since when has this countercultural tradition become…

Does Analytic Thinking Erode Religious Belief?

…by The Atlantic, The Huffington Post, and (unsurprisingly) RichardDawkins.net. In the Scientific American article that activated the echo chamber, Daisy Grewal claims that we possess two different ways of thinking: intuitive thinking, which relies on shortcuts, rules of thumb, and commonsense ideas; and analytic thinking, which questions our rapid-fire intuitions, but is much slower and more energy intensive.

Should The Senate Listen To A Court-Martialed Chaplain on DADT?

…aking over the military); Joseph Farah, editor of the conspiratorial World Net Daily; the American Family Association, whose public policy director Bryan Fischer asserts there is a link between Nazism and homosexuality. I could name more (like Rusty Thomas of Elijah Ministries, who worked with Fischer in Idaho organizing a conference against “sodomites”), but let me just highlight the crowning touch: one of the signatories includes a former Navy c…

A Shame-Positive Case for Keeping the Heat on Trump

…t to gut Social Security, the ACA, and whatever other pieces of the safety net they can get their hands on. This is not difficult. Finally, like Amanda Marcotte, I believe that a long-held goal of at least parts of the conservative movement has been to create cynicism in the media and among voters, which ultimately enables lawlessness with impunity and destroys hope, which in turn depresses turnout, which keeps the GOP in office. Good times, my fr…

Case Against Church-State Separation From Unlikely Source

…of any mention of noted Reformed pastor/theologian (and early 20th-century Netherlands prime minister) Abraham Kuyper, whose ideas and policies regarding “sphere sovereignty” or “pillarization” (verzuiling) exerted a large if little-known influence on certain architects of Bush’s faith-based program. Maybe it’s just my own alertness to all things Netherlandish, but I thought it was passing strange for Daly to overlook such a towering figure as Kuy…

What’s Missing From Popular Discussions of Today’s Christian Nationalism?

…Amalekites, the Ziklag Group is affiliated with United in Purpose, a data, networking, and messaging organization that’s played a substantial role in turning out the conservative Christian vote in past elections. You can get a sense of the Ziklag Group’s true raison d’ê·tre from a glance at its “membership/attendee criteria,” which appeared on the invitation. Attendance, I learned, was limited to those who are “committed to Christ,” are “Humble in…
