Alabama Yoga Debate Focusing on the Wrong Question

By Candy Gunther Brown

…ersal-soul (paramatman).” Yet, Zed now argues that yoga will do nothing to promote Hinduism? Regardless of how Alabama resolves its latest bout on yoga, it seems unlikely that controversies over yoga—or the often-paired practice of mindfulness meditation—will disappear any time soon. Indeed, the American Center for Law and Justice (ACLJ) has recently renewed its objections to mindfulness. Yoga and mindfulness point to a key cultural divide over fr…

No More Pencils, No More Books: The Ultimate Goal of All Those Anti-Education Bills That Nobody’s Talking About

By Andrew L. Seidel

…ho’s been working in this space for more than a decade summed it up in her latest book, The Power Worshippers: Inside the Dangerous Rise of Religious Nationalism: “For many supporters, of course, the underlying motive for voucher programs is not to improve education but to eliminate nonsectarian education.” Whatever the latest bete noir of the Right, be it critical race theory, Common Core, desegregated schools, or evolution, destroying public edu…

Don’t Laugh at Rick Scott’s ‘Plan to Rescue America’ or Be Fooled by Reports of a ‘Backlash’ — His Only Mistake Was Revealing the Truth of Today’s GOP

By Annika Brockschmidt

…the same lines as the ethno-nationalist sense of “volk” that animates the latest ad for Peter Thiel-backed far-right candidate for US Senate in Arizona, Blake Masters. Both claim that there’s a narrow and fixed definition of who is and is not American—first and foremost, white, Christian people who look, sound, dress, worship, believe, love, and act like they do—and both draw clear lines to show who is in and who is not a part of it. The future f…

Dear Amazon Prime, I’m Not a Racist, But Why Are You Destroying My Precious Middle-Earth With Black Hobbits?

By Mary Rambaran-Olm

Dear Amazon Prime,* As a loyal customer I’m appalled at your latest WOKE stunt and have some questions for you before I cut to the chase. I’ve been watching the new Rings of Power series based on the works of Professor JRR Tolkien who was a medievalist, philologist, and fantasy author of The Hobbit, Lord of the Rings, The Silmarillion, and other works. Let me explain why your casting choices in this latest series are WRONG. I’m an amateur histori…

By Lauri Lebo

…the religious displays in all its schools of the Ten Commandments. In the latest controversy over the issue, 200 students walked out in protest Monday over the school board’s latest decision to ban them. The whole brouhaha started in December when the school board voted to remove the displays after the Freedom from Religion Foundation sent the district a letter notifying it that it was in violation of the Constitution. In response, the board vote…

Holocaust Humor and The ‘Real’ Germany — As Top Officials Shatter Post-WWII Taboos, German Conservatives Follow GOP Playbook and Charge Ahead

By Annika Brockschmidt

…avaria—a Southern, very Catholic and quite conservative state—are just the latest evidence of a global right-wing resurgence and should be recognized as yet another warning that a significant shift in German conservatism is underway. It’s also a sign that Germans—many of whom shake their heads incredulously at what they perceive to be the antics of the U.S. far-right—should finally start paying attention to what’s happening in their own country. “…

‘The Age of Insurrection: The Radical Right’s Assault on American Democracy’ Explains How We Got Here — And What Comes Next

By Shane Burley

…s rise and controversial final months. I had first met Neiwert when he was promoting his 2017 book, Alt-America: The Rise of the Radical Right in the Age of Trump,3 a definitive chronicle of the rise of the Patriot, Alt Right, and MAGA movements that led to Trump’s election. Neiwert’s reporting had a unique quality: no matter how established he was in covering this world, he always found something new, injected a fresh perspective into the coverag…

New Research Suggests That Belief in Demons May Help Explain Christian Support of Trump

By Robert Repino

…oid and exerting its will on Christianity. Support for Trump is merely the latest in a long pattern of mainstream Christian denominations siding with authoritarian power and finding themselves on the wrong side of history. It isn’t an accident. It was entirely predictable. In fact, it’s such an old story that anyone who is surprised by this latest iteration should probably be disqualified from sharing an opinion on the matter. But demon belief—and…

The Jerusalem Tinderbox

By Sarah Posner

…en though Netanyahu opposes it — “pyromania.” This week, in discussing the latest escalations in violence and rising tensions in Jerusalem and the Temple Mount in particular, Seidemann told me that current situation in the “home town for people dealing with the apocalypse” “augurs for a non-routine violent event,” in part because “we have seen a serious destabilization at the Temple Mount.” Later that day, Glick was shot. If you want to understand…

303 Creative Is Not a ‘Religion v. Gay Rights’ Case — But Here’s Why the Christian Right is Happy with the Media Suggesting Just That

By Heron Greenesmith

…day, the Supreme Court heard oral arguments in 303 Creative v. Elenis, the latest case to pit the Christian Right against LGBTQ people. Or is it? “Supreme Court Will Hear Latest Clash Between Faith and Gay Rights.” “Masterpiece Cakeshop, 303 Creative and the conflict between religion, gay rights.” To read major headlines on Tuesday, one might be forgiven for thinking that the 303 Creative case is about the right for conservative Christian business…
