By Sarah Posner

…going away anytime soon, though. It’s a perfect crucible for interrelated Republican cause celebres that all serve as election season fodder: that the Obama administration “promotes abortion;” that contraceptives are like a gateway drug for abortion; and that the Obama administration is depriving the Catholic Bishops of their religious liberty. But the Democrats could easily turn this around on the Republicans. Should rape victims be forced to ca…

…bo praised the Obama administration’s “very beneficial” diplomatic efforts promoting LGBT human rights and slammed American evangelicals who continue to promote anti-gay attitudes and policies. The U.S. last summer cut aid to Uganda and imposed a travel ban against officials in the African country who are responsible for anti-LGBT and other human rights abuses. The Center for Constitutional Rights in 2012 filed a federal lawsuit against Scott Live…

Scholars Upset With ‘1619 Project’ Must Abandon Vision of ‘America the Righteous’

By Peter Laarman

…the infidels from the temple in order to preserve the myth of the Virtuous Republic. In religious terms, this worship of a false national narrative has a name: idolatry. In the revised but still withering formal letter that the Times agreed to publish, Wilentz and his fellow critics fault Hannah-Jones and her collaborators for failing to appreciate the extent to which Mr. Lincoln joined with Frederick Douglass (and others) in treating the Constitu…

Leaving Empire: The Risks of American Insularity

By Ryann Croken

…reading about Panama in preparation for a trip there. The Central American republic, I learned, has some great surfing beaches, bizarrely colored frogs, and a memorial constructed in honor the thousands of civilians who were killed during George H.W. Bush’s “Operation Just Cause.” This military campaign, my guidebook informed me, liberated Panamanians from the reign of General Noriega, brought democracy to the nation, and protected US citizens fro…

What Will Orthodox ‘Republicanity’ Look Like?

By Louis A. Ruprecht

…or those on the political left to hope for an ever-more absurdist brand of Republicanity as an easier heresy to defeat, this seems like very short-term thinking. In a larger political sense, such a development can and would be dismaying and destructive for the long-term health of our republic. The most famous phrase for which Tertullian is remembered took the form of a rhetorical question: “What has Athens to do with Jerusalem?” Nothing at all, he…

Gorsuch Confirmed… But Don’t Get Too Bent Out of Shape

By Sunnivie Brydum

…erspective). Was the seat stolen? Absolutely. There’s no excuse for Senate Republicans’ truly unprecedented, year-long filibuster-that-wasn’t of former President Obama’s centrist, equally qualified (and probably less ideological) nominee Merrick Garland. The GOP plainly put party over country, then resolutely refused to admit that’s what they’d done, claiming it was Gorsuch who’d been treated unfairly by a confirmation process that still resulted…

Exvangelicals were even featured in Newsweek twice, including in the cover article of the print edition for December 21. The biggest exvangelical media breakthrough thus far, however, is surely the CBS special “Deconstructing My Religion,” written and produced by Liz Kineke, and which began running on CBS affiliate stations earlier this m…

Why the Lewd Trump Tapes Won’t Matter (As Much As You Think) in White Christian America

By Paul Harvey

…Standing in solidarity with Speaker of the House Paul Ryan and most of the Republican establishment (with some notable exceptions in Utah and a few other places), evangelical leaders have made their stand on the Trump tapes: sure, the comments were “inappropriate,” but they don’t rank high on the “hierarchy of concerns” of evangelicals. And anyway, that was 11 years ago, when he wasn’t a Christian and was a young man of 59, and now that he’s a bab…
