By Caroline Matas

…e control and female submission, Jesus and John Wayne drew stark parallels between so-called biblical patriarchy and the militant masculinity of the American political rightwing. To Du Mez’s surprise, some evangelical women readers met the book with a mix of praise and resignation. “‘It’s too late for us,’” Du Mez recalls them saying. “‘We’ve made our choices, and we can’t walk away from the lives we’ve made.

Nikki Haley’s Slavery Omission Typifies the GOP’s Tragic Pact with White Supremacy

By Annika Brockschmidt

…is about freedom. That’s what that was all about. It was about individual freedom, it was about economic freedom, it was about individual rights. This is, of course, the very “States’ Rights” rhetoric that sparked outrage in the first place. And the follow-up to every claim that the Civil War was about “individual rights” and “economic freedom” has to be followed up with the questions: “individual rights to what? economic freedom to do what exact…

Trump the Totem: Like Other Fascist Leaders, Trump has Turned from Man to Symbol — And That’s the Danger

By Robert P. Jones

…being indicted for you…. And never forget our enemies want to take away my freedom because I will never let them take away your freedom. And I’m never gonna let it happen. They wanna silence me because I will never let them silence you. And in the end, they’re not after me. They’re after you. I just happen to be standing in the way. When the leader becomes the totem, no transgression is capable of separating him from his acolytes. A totem can’t li…

Rising Christian Right Movement, New Apostolic Reformation, Emerged as a Mid-20th Century Splinter of White Supremacy

By Keri Ladner

…G). Meanwhile, the NAR is a racially and culturally diverse coalition that promotes Christian Zionism as fervently as it promotes Christian nationalism in the US. And while the NAR’s philosemitism can itself be deeply problematic, it certainly isn’t as threatening as White supremacy’s conspiracy-laden antisemitism. However, as recently as the mid-twentieth century, the movements actually were the same. William Branham (1909-1965) was a revivalist…

Church Attendance is (Once Again) Correlated with Authoritarianism — So Why Do We Refuse to Acknowledge It?

By Chrissy Stroop

…e last eight years journalists, commentators, and scholars who should know better have tried everything they can think of to distinguish “real” Christianity from bigotry and authoritarianism. They’ve drawn arbitrary lines where (ostensibly) “real” religion ends and “politics” begins; they’ve cherry-picked data; and they’ve engaged in outright wishful thinking that contradicts the available data. They’ve even made a slick film that allows “good” (b…

The ADL is Correct that Antisemitism is Rising — But the Main (and Most Dangerous) Source Isn’t the Left, It’s Always Been the Right

By Shane Burley

Attacks on Tim Walz’s Lutheran Denomination are Undermined by Reality — I Mean, Is ELCA Even Exciting Enough for Controversy?

By Daniel Schultz

…han White evangelical bodies like the Missouri Synod or the WELS? Hey, you betcha, as they say in Minnesota. But “extremely left-wing”? Not really. In fact, the ELCA, like mainline Protestants overall, tends to be right around the average views for all Americans, or just slightly more progressive. And when it comes to views on racial discrimination and immigration, White mainline Protestants tend to be closer to their counterparts in White evangel…
