Response to Daniel Philpott: the Politics of Religious Freedom

By Elizabeth Shakman Hurd

…action to my piece on the politics of promoting religious freedom in the Middle East by situating my argument in the two broader research projects from which it emerged. My intention in doing so is to offer interested readers and critics an opportunity to understand how my RD intervention fits into a broader attempt in my current work to understand how and with what consequences the category of “religion” has been taken up nationally and internati…

Google-Phonics, Or, ‘What Is the Sound of a Thousand Tech Workers Meditating?’

By Kevin Healey

…is endemic to capital markets. From the perspective of socially engaged Buddhism, a key flaw in corporate mindfulness is its neglect of the relationship between personal and institutional suffering (or dukkha). The audience was both intrigued and challenged by such ideas. One attendee snapped photos of subsequent slides. Quite unexpectedly, Google’s own Jolly Good Fellow walked into the room. Flashing a winning smile at the gathered attendees, he…

The Duck Dynastization of the Bishops’ “Religious Liberty” Meme

By Patricia Miller

…ation, speakers likened the situation of US churchgoers to Christians beheaded by ISIS in Syria. The capstone event of this effort was the “I Stand Sunday” simulcast rally featuring “Duck Dynasty” patriarch Phil Robertson, who likened the suspension of his television show (for an anti-gay tirade) to Christians in the Bible being imprisoned for their beliefs and “asserted that the same thing could happen in the United States.” The rally, sponsored…

‘Good Wife’ Alicia Florrick is an Atheist (and Drinks a Lot)

By Lisa Webster

…ld be for her character, wielding her trademark “you’ve got to be effing kidding” cold glare to great effect. She repeats that she is a straight up atheist, not agnostic, not wondering. Safe bet that this is the most often the word ‘atheist’ has been used in a single episode of a network drama. The wrinkle is that her daughter is part of a youth-y evangelical group, having converted a few seasons back. The writers use her for comic effect sometime…

Christians and Cage Fighting, From “Fight Church” to Mark Driscoll

By Jessica Johnson

…violence, as well as explore the growing mainstreaming of MMA in the US, and discuss Christianity in our post-modern society.” But while documentary filmmakers insist that they are representing ‘authentic’ reality all the decisions they make during production and in the editing room, whether lighting, soundtrack, camera angles, interview questions…(the list goes on) cannot claim to be made ‘objectively.’ Against the claims of filmmakers like Junge…

At the UN, Conservative Christian Agenda Cloaked in Human Rights Language

By Austin Dacey

…cil in Geneva, six pre-adolescent children were declaiming a text that sounded very human-rights-ish, with articles—one for each youth—on protecting, respecting, and establishing a number of things. But if you had listened carefully, everything would have started to sound a bit off. The text being read was in fact not the 1989 human rights treaty but instead “A Declaration on the Rights of Children and Their Families: A Call From the Children of t…

The Real (and More Interesting) World Behind Magic in the Moonlight

By David Walker

…nical Stanley and the (seemingly) credulous Sophie meet somewhere in the middle. By minute 90, the audience has been transitioned too, through Allen’s own sleights of script, from Stanley’s once-strict Nietzscheanism (“I think Nietzsche has disposed of the God matter rather convincingly”) to Sophie’s less nihilistic take (“we need our illusions to live”). All of this makes for dramatic (if predictable) storytelling, cinematic synthesis and the lik…

Why Cliven Bundy Wasn’t A Religious Right Hero

By Sarah Posner

…ed enough to couch his nonsense in soundbites and euphemism.” Adam Serwer adds: This all trickles down from somewhere. Slavery analogies are common among conservative figures like Glenn Beck and Sarah Palin, and it’s one of the reasons many conservatives have fallen in love with Ben Carson. In Washington, the critique of the welfare state is finessed into a more sophisticated argument that lacks references to slavery, and where race is usually dis…

Google Data Reveal Poor Have An Interest Above “Dark” Religion

By Peter Laarman

…s Upshot report on what amounts to a NY Times anal exam of web searches, aided and abetted by the non-evildoers at Google. I was traveling when this mess broke, but it was still in front of me via NPR and lots of digital play. In case you missed it, the Times found that well-off people (residents of the “easiest places” in the U.S.) make mainly high-end, consumerist web searches. Shiny digital gizmos, especially cameras, garner the special interes…

Never Mind the Libertarians, Here’s the ‘Pragmatist Moment’

By Eric C. Miller

…nt poll confirmed that fully half of voters between ages 18 and 29 are unwedded to either party. Obama has profoundly disappointed many of these voters by shying away from marijuana decriminalization, by leading from behind on same-sex marriage, by trumping the Bush administration on illegal-immigrant deportations and by expanding Bush’s N.S.A. surveillance program. As one 30-year-old libertarian senior staff member on the Hill told me: “I think w…
