Supreme Court Conservatives Allow Execution of Muslim Prisoner Despite Religious Freedom Violation

By Andrew L. Seidel

…at maintaining a schedule was more important than the prisoner’s religious freedom. That’s it. A delay was worse, far worse, than the state of Alabama violating a Muslim’s First Amendment rights. That is the message this court sent. If you are seeking justice or vindication of your religious freedom or a religiously neutral government, the Supreme Court has said non-Christians need not apply. ALSO FROM THE AUTHOR We’ve seen it from this court befo…

Romney’s Christian Nation Conundrum

By Sarah Posner

…is country, and Jeffress is therefore free to go off against Mormonism if that’s what he believes! 3 Romney (Mormon): Jeffress, meh. I’ve heard worse. There are no religious tests for the presidency, that’s in the Constitution. 4 I think we knew this before, but Perry’s no constitutional scholar — he might not even graduate from Schoolhouse Rock. Romney’s answer was probably the best, focusing not just on freedom to practice religion, but on how t…

By Sarah Posner

…and there’s a real and present danger,” if you watch the video, he says, “and that’s a real and present danger.” Suggesting, therefore, not that he believes “they” will argue that Catholic teaching is a “real and present danger” (whatever that is) but that the nebulous “they” present a “real and present danger” to Christianity. Rubio’s statement is simply a confused muddle of fear-mongering and constitutional misconception. Neither of which is ver…

Aasif Mandvi on Islamophobia, Acting, and the Long Shadow of Jon Stewart

By Haroon Moghul

…ays be a certain amount of prejudice, and I don’t think you can eradicate that. What I wanted to do was address some of that prejudice, the misinformation that gets put out there. You can talk about and think about Muslims as you want, but you can’t stop Muslims from building a mosque. You can hate Muslims from the comfort of your house, or publicly, but when that becomes stopping Muslims from building a mosque, or worshipping, then we are crossin…

Might, Right, and White Privilege: It’s Morning in America, the Sequel

By Diane Winston

…ne who expects God is on his side. Trump both embodies and caricatures the freedom that Reagan and Falwell esteemed; he feels free to revise the truth, promise the moon, and edit the facts of his life. He also feels free to say whatever pops into his mind. His subsequent litany of misogynist, nativist and false statements, compounded by his professional failures and personal foibles, caused pundits to wonder how his campaign could rally evangelica…

What To Do When Fred Phelps Arrives in Your Neighborhood

By Susan Henking

…e Roy Cohn. Dissent requires change. It requires action. It may require looking often and directly at things we do not like. It certainly requires grey choices on sunny days in June 2011. That’s what our “broken covenant” is all about: the paradox and ambivalence of using our always already broken ideals to make our world a better place. …

How America’s Charismatic Christianity Helped Fuel the Fantasyland Presidency of Donald Trump

By Eric C. Miller

…between religious belief and belief in conspiracy theories? I had a hunch that that was true, and then I found a whole bunch of scholarship by political scientists and sociologists who have found precisely that. When religious belief relies on a literal reading of scripture as history, suggesting that nothing is a coincidence, that there is a certain grand plan worked out in specific detail—that does correlate with belief in conspiracy theories. I…

Molly Norris, who initially floated the idea of DMD, has stepped backed from the idea. N…

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

By Stephen Young

…nt their economy of the pre-Coronavirus status quo back. It’s the economy that made them rich. The surprise is not that this god’s followers are eager to offer human sacrifices, but that anyone is still shocked they would offer the rest of us to him or try to sell us on this approach by warning against the “the false god of ‘saving lives.’” We should, at the least, stop tiptoeing around this god’s followers as though it’s bad manners to identify h…
