Orthodox Jews Begin to Reckon with Sexual Abuse

By Paul Berger

…ents. Small Jewish communities usually have a single beth din while larger communities, like those found in New York and New Jersey, may have many. These include beth dins that specialize in sexual abuse, though they are few; Rabbi Basil Herring, executive vice president of the Rabbinical Council of America, says there are probably no more than two or three in the country. Perhaps unsurprisingly, beth din rabbis are often reluctant to speak about…

Worse Than Madoff: Amway Launches Domestic Revival

By Bill Berkowitz

…largest direct sales company in the world. In 2007, Amway Global and other companies under the Alticor umbrella reported sales of $7.2 billion, marking the company’s sixth straight year of growth. Van Andel and DeVos used a portion of their wealth as a de facto insurance policy, becoming major financiers of Republican Party candidates and religious right causes. According to Progress for America, Amway’s founders contributed $4,000,000 to conserva…

Why Has the Critique of Hypocrisy Run Out of Steam?

By Christopher Douglas

…But counter-claims to this higher principle aimed at the president have found no ground in the in-group because the facts and the principles were established only outside the group identity, by outsiders without standing. The Christian Right maintains not just an identity-based epistemology, but an identity-based morality as well. America is experiencing not just an epistemic crisis, but a moral crisis too; facts and principles are malleable poli…

By Joanna Brooks

…those contributions together in a later filing.” According to Mormonsfor8.com, an independent research project conceived and led by Mormons, the Church’s non-monetary contributions to the Yes on 8 campaign total $190,000. The $37,000 at issue in the FPPC complaint and the $190,000 documented in-kind LDS donations constitute but a small fraction of the Mormon-affiliated fundraising for the Yes on 8 campaign through the Protect Marriage coalition….

Rep. Kinzinger Rejects Judgmental Family Letter But He’s No Cure for Evangelical GOP Authoritarianism

By Chrissy Stroop

…e egregiously mismanaged, Kinzinger may be “asymptomatic”—at least when it comes to willingness to commit outright violence to overthrow an election as opposed to working within the forms of democracy to deprive the marginalized of power and equality. He seems to me to be no more willing to interrogate the root causes of extremism in his evangelical beliefs than his fellow “respectable” evangelicals Michael Gerson, Ed Stetzer, and David French are…

Sure, There’s No ‘Religious Left’… If You Ignore Non-White Christians and Non-Christians

By Daniel Schultz

…ious left is more decentralized. There are many state and regional groups, denominational policy offices, and single-issue groups that make up a loose coalition that despite the best efforts of the Religion-Industrial Complex, cheerfully and successfully resists just about anything in the way of central coordination. Jenkins sees this as a distributed movement, and likes to point to areas where it’s played a crucial role in progressive successes i…

Conservative Evangelical Eric Metaxas, Doing Twitter Theology, Claims ‘Jesus Was White’

By Eric Vanden Eykel

…/twitter.com/ericmetaxas/status/1287829767753019393 But here he betrays a fundamental misunderstanding of what “white privilege” actually is and what it entails. In her book DiAngelo defines it as “a sociological concept referring to advantages that are taken for granted by whites and that cannot be similarly enjoyed by people of color in the same context (government, community, workplace, schools, etc.).” And, as she also notes, “stating that rac…

“Far Too Extreme For America To Accept,” Hamas “Endorsed Obama,” “Forced Abortions,” and More

By Sarah Posner

…of the religious right who, in his recent “Open Letter to the Black Church Community,” wrote that the black community is in the “death grip” of the Democratic Party, which “has become a Coalition of the Godless, supported by abortionists, homosexual activists, pornographers, casino gambling, activists calling for legalization of marijuana and the anti-Christian ACLU.” Some of Wheeler’s recent columns at the conservative site Townhall have included…

Trump’s Lawsuit Amounts to ‘a Tweet With a Filing Fee,’ But That’s Not the Whole Strategy

By Andrew L. Seidel

…e to count it up. If states didn’t publish any numbers until the count was complete, the outcome would be exactly the same but without the horserace narrative and a President subverting the will of the people. Once the polls close on Election Day, nothing can change the outcome. Except litigation. It’s tempting to think that Trump only wants to freeze the numbers at a time when it might be favorable to him. That’s part of his rationale, but he’s a…

Cherry-Picking in the God Gap: A Post-Election Conversation on the Religious Vote and the Battle to Spin it

By Daniel Schultz and Chrissy Stroop

…. When something is illegitimate, we shouldn’t accuse those who say so of being unduly “divisive.” Polarization is a dangerous state for a society to be in, but even conservatives of conscience who are truly dedicated to democracy recognize that American polarization is driven from the right. This is why the post-election emphasis on “reconciliation” in the elite public sphere, coming not least from President-elect Biden himself, is so worrisome t…
