White Supremacy Erases Its Violence: The Predictable Blaming of Antifa

By Stephen Young

Within hours of the storming of the Capitol on January 6, the Republican House Rep and Trump ally Matt Gaetz gave a speech in the House chamber. This is the same chamber that had been under siege by a crowd Trump had himself urged to “show strength” and march on the Capitol, even promising, “I’ll be with you” (incidentally, he drove the opposite direction in his motorcade). Just like the MAGA fest outside the Capitol, the looters who broke in wer…

Why Does Trump’s Authoritarian Christian Base Ignore Never-Trump Evangelical Leaders?

By Chrissy Stroop

Here we are, a week and a half after Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden became the mathematically inevitable president-elect, and yet Donald Trump’s base continues to push false narratives that Trump “really” won because of non-existent “voter fraud,” or that he will somehow yet prevail. Trump himself, of course, constantly spreads this disinformation and stokes his authoritarian base, which predominantly consists of white Christians, an…

In Order to Move Forward We Must Believe the Unbelievable: Some Choose Death Over Democracy

By John Stoehr

I get why some people don’t get why 72 million Americans voted for Donald Trump. The Covid-19 pandemic has killed nearly a quarter of a million people in this country; it’s brought the U.S. economy to the brink of collapse; and the president is a lying, thieving, philandering sadist. How could so many Americans say: “Yeah, I’m good with that?” I get why that’s hard to believe, but the thing we have to do, if we hope to move our country forward, i…

There is Another Reason Trump Refuses to Concede the Election

By Chad Bauman

In Thursday’s New York Times, Max Fisher and Amanda Taub consider three possible explanations for the President’s obstinate refusal to concede electoral defeat, asking “Is the president of the United States attempting a poorly executed self-coup to stay in power? Offering calculated bluster to save face for the cameras? Or is he genuinely deluded about the fact that he lost the election?” A fourth possibility—the president’s embrace of prosperity…

‘The White Privileged Man’s Burden’: If Jesus Was White Who Are We to Question the ‘Privilege’ That Came With it?

By A. E. Brooks-Key

Religious institutions across America are seeking out anti-racist professionals in a long overdue attempt to address the legacies of racism, bigotry, and discrimination in their denominations. The General Commission on Religion and Race of The United Methodist Church selected Robin DiAngelo, author of White Fragility to develop a response to “white privilege” called, appropriately, “Deconstructing White privilege.” For those unfamiliar with “Whit…

What Does the Catholic Church’s Patriarchal Structure Have to Do with the Failure of the Amazon Synod?

By Mary E. Hunt

The recent Synod in Rome, the “Special Assembly for the Amazon of the Synod of Bishops,” focused on the topic “Amazonia: New Paths for the Church and for an Integral Ecology” with controversial and less than optimum results. The outcome was not a surprise because church-related discrimination created a costly missed opportunity for a dying planet. If the Catholic house were in order, its impact on climate change would increase exponentially. The…

Hey Hey, Ho Ho White Jesus Has to Go… But The Issue is More Complicated Than You Think

By A. E. Brooks-Key

As a child growing up in Louisville, Kentucky in the late 1970s a curious painting hung in my family’s den depicting thirteen men of varying shades of brown sitting around a long table partaking in a meal. In the middle was a brown-skinned man sitting stoically with a halo surrounding his perfectly round Afro. I know you’re thinking the very same thing I did when I was a kid: “You had a picture of Richard Pryor and his friends hanging up in your…

You Can Take The Boy Out of the Crack House: MyPillow CEO’s New Book Promo Has Deep Roots in American Christianity

By Daniel Schultz

What the hell did I just see? Not in a good way. No. Seriously: what the hell did I just see? https://twitter.com/revrrlewis/status/1254746061958193155 The short version of my reaction to My Pillow CEO Mike Lindell pimping his journey “from crack addict to CEO” goes something like this: “What the actual…” followed by a string of nouns and gerunds that Religion Dispatches will not allow me to publish for my own good. The longer version of my react…

Whether it’s Celebrated by CT or Denied in NYC, Evangelical Proselytizing Isn’t in Quarantine

By Chrissy Stroop

One has to imagine that the rabidly anti-LGBTQ Franklin Graham, President and CEO of the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association and Samaritan’s Purse, expected the kind of culture war conflict he evidently relishes when he mobilized the latter to set up and operate a 68-bed field hospital in New York City’s Central Park in partnership with the Mount Sinai Health System. In addition to being the epicenter of the COVID-19 pandemic in the United Stat…

‘Restart the Economy’ is a Prayer to a Conservative God Who Demands Human Sacrifice

By Stephen Young

According to classic interpretations of the Jewish and Christian Bibles, a Canaanite deity named Moloch demanded the sacrifice of children. There is a long history of writing about this bloodthirsty god spanning the ancient world to John Milton’s Paradise Lost to Allen Ginsberg’s “Howl” to modern social commentators. One recurring point is that the depravity of Moloch was reflected in his insatiable lust for innocent flesh. How could anyone worsh…
