RD Response to Fox Crit of White Supremacy in Yoga Engages in Victim Blaming

By Rumya Putcha

This piece is a response to Andrea Jain’s “Fox News Controversy on Yoga Reveals Problem of Yoga Discussion.” Read Jain’s response here. Nobody in the world, nobody in history, has ever gotten their freedom by appealing to the moral sense of the people who were oppressing them. – Assata Shakur Earlier this year, Fox News ran a piece titled, “Americans who practice yoga contribute to white supremacy, Michigan State University professor claims,” l…

Necessary Sacrifice: Sundance, Mormon Movies, and the Race to Oscar Night

By Kathryn Lofton

Let me tell you three things you may not have heard, but you already know. In New York, 7-year-old Nixzmary Brown died at the hands of her stepfather. He readily admitted to the murder, saying in his defense that Nixzmary was an uncontrollable “little Houdini” who had stolen some yogurt. So he bound her to a chair with duct tape, forced her to urinate in a litter box, and beat her about the head. The stepdad’s defense attorney hopes that if he ex…

Ex-Gay Leader Defends Program Used to Support Uganda’s Anti-Gay Law

By Candace Chellew-Hodge

The leader of an “ex-gay” organization whose books and other material has been used to bolster support for the anti-gay bill now pending before Uganda lawmakers has voiced his opposition to the bill. Richard Cohen, leader of the International Healing Center, told Rachel Maddow this week: “We do not believe in this legislation. We had no knowledge of it and we disavow all relationship to it. We are promoting loving people, loving all homosexual pe…

Oh My God…

By Gary Laderman

Yahoo has just bought the domain name “OMG.com” for a cool 80K. They plan, it is assumed, to use the URL for their newish entertainment portal, which serves up “celebrity gossip, news, babies, couples, hotties, and more—omg!” Oh my God. It is certainly safe to say, at the very least, that the word “God” is the most vacuous word in the English language. In 21st-century America, no other word is so empty of meaning that it can span linguistic usage…

How Are the “Nones” Raising Their Children?

By Christel Manning

What inspired you to write Losing Our Religion: How Unaffiliated Parents Are Raising Their Children? It was really my daughter’s questions that got me started with this. Sheila was three years old—that age when kids will ask why, why, why about everything. She started asking questions about religion. I remember driving home from preschool in December, and she spotted a giant plastic Santa in somebody’s front yard. “Mommy,” she asked, “Why does Sa…

LDS Church Asserts Trademark of “Mormon”

By Holly Welker

Question: has the word “Mormon” been copyrighted or trademarked in this country? If so, when? And who therefore holds the rights? I’ll be surprised if it’s the LDS church, since Mormon is not and never has been its official name. For a long time, in fact, the church tried to disavow it. Yet now, asserting that “Mormon” is a brand, lawyers for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints have been arguing that Mormon Match, an LDS dating websit…

‘Imagine Better’: Can Harry Potter Change the World?

By B. Howell Belser

Stories are dangerous. They have the ability to re-make the world; to take us outside of ourselves, and make real the experiences, feelings, and situations of other people in other places. Stories activate our imaginations and rearrange the furniture of our minds. This is why narrative—may it take the form of myth, folklore, parable, or history—has always been such an integral part of religious life and the formation of religious imagination. His…

#ReinstateDocHawk: Wheaton Does Not Speak for Its Students

By Ellie Roth

When I decided to attend Wheaton College two years ago, I was expecting a haven of like-minded young Christian scholars. But it turns out—while Wheaton is a special and loved place—it still has a lot in common with just about any other community: We disagree on things. Outsiders may assume all students, faculty, administrators and alumnae are in agreement about Dr. Larycia Hawkins’ recent suspension—the way I assumed everyone at Liberty Universit…

Graham’s Muslim Brotherhood Conspiracy Theory Not New

By Sarah Posner

At Mother Jones, David Corn writes that Franklin Graham’s conspiracy theory that the Muslim Brotherhood has infiltrated the U.S. government is “new.” It’s not new — Graham certainly didn’t invent it — and that’s important not just because what Corn writes isn’t accurate. It’s essential to understand the interaction between evangelical powerbrokers, who were once thought to direct the conversation, and the right-wing echo chamber in which evangeli…

What Does God Tweet?, AFA Cites Hitler on Gays…

By Christopher Marchsteiner

The American Family Association stepped up their attack on allowing gays in the military by putting forth one of their most absurd arguments yet: Hitler discovered that he could not get straight soldiers to be savage and brutal and vicious enough to carry out his orders, but that homosexual solders basically had no limits. Although it is not an argument worth debunking, it is interesting to contrast this talking point with earlier claims that gay…
