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

…he must endorse same-sex marriages, or even that she has to make a wedding website for a same-sex wedding. Colorado is telling her that if 303 Creative sells wedding websites to different-sex couples, it cannot, under state law, turn away a same-sex couple from buying the same wedding website. That would be impermissible discrimination. The second incentive the Christian Right has to keep the focus on religion instead of free speech is because the…

Review: Is the Religious Right Dying?

By Laura R. Olson

…es. The preponderance of the evidence does suggest that a religious “middle-to-left” may in fact be resurging in the United States. The proof will be in the pudding: will the Democratic presidential candidate succeed in attracting a broad faith-based coalition of voters in November? Even if the 2008 presidential election does rewrite conventional wisdom about the ideological nature of religion’s relationship to American politics, a nascent religio…

Will Dems Find Moxie to Resist Immoral GOP Tax Plan?

By Peter Laarman

…bblement. But let it not be said that these guys are slouches when when it comes to self-dealing and cashing in. According to the TPC analysis, their plan will actually hurt some of the merely affluent (those in the $150,000 to $300,000 range) in order to ensure that those at the extreme high end can totally pig out. Here we see the 1% showing its true colors: they want it all for themselves, even as nine million of America’s poorest children are…

SCOTUS Seems to Think You Should Be Forced to Pay For Religious Education

By John Stoehr

…ecial rights provisions apply equally? The court is on a mission to remake free-exercise law. Not too long ago, it held that religious people and organizations could not claim special exemptions to generally applicable law so long as that law applies equally to religious and non-religious actors. The court’s right-wing majority has been working to displace that rule with one that presumptively gives religious actors an exemption from state or fede…

Billy Graham Is Probably Not the Author of His Own “Final Chapter”

By Elesha Coffman

…r-old evangelist actually issued this warning himself is another matter. A new book bearing the byline of Billy Graham presents scholars of contemporary religion with a similar puzzle. Did Graham actually write Where I Am: Heaven, Eternity, and Our Life Beyond, a book that, despite its title, focuses mostly on hell? Where I Am: Heaven, Eternity, and Our Life Beyond Billy Graham Thomas Nelson (October, 2015) Pseudepigrapha—or documents falsely ascr…

The Episcopal Church ‘Takes a Flying Leap’ into Controversies Old and New

By Elizabeth Drescher

…nation, it is impossible to know whether opening communion would encourage newcomers or turn away existing members, but it is certainly an issue worth following. The End is Where? It goes almost without saying that mainline Protestantism is in an extended period of at least numerical, if not spiritual, decline, and many commentators have taken the occasion of the General Convention of the Episcopal Church—still an important symbol of normative Ame…

There’s No Business Like the Bible Business: 200 Years of the ABS

By Paul Harvey

…faith energizing the ABS. If that sounds like the ABS is therefore an uber-Protestant organization, you would be correct. Always interdenominational, the ABS was closely associated with “the Protestant establishment” for much of its career. More recently, it has aligned itself with evangelical Protestants, who support the historic aims of the ABS in being an organization central to the cause of making America a Christian nation. While always will…

Gen Z’s Religious Affiliation Stats Are Confusing … But Only When Viewed From a Christian-Centric Perspective

By Brook Wilensky-Lanford

…y favorite ways to demonstrate the absurdity of this is Beliefnet’s “Belief-O-Matic” quiz. You answer a series of strictly theological questions: about the existence of supernatural entities, what it means to align oneself with those entities; what happens after we die. Then it assigns you an affiliation based on your declared beliefs. I usually end up around 40% Hindu and 60% Quaker, neither of which religious tradition I have any personal connec…

Catholic Healthcare Is Not the Enemy

By Frances Kissling

…eems to be the conclusion of the local newspaper, the Bartlesville Examiner-Enterprise…” To some extent, questions like this are designed to cover up the fact that the reporter does not know the answer to her own question and for some reason hasn’t bothered to find it. “The order to restrict contraceptives,” wrote The Nation’s Steven Hsieh, “reportedly came from Ascension Health, a non-profit Catholic health services company that acquired St. John…

Do White People Think Black People Are Magic?

By Joseph Laycock

…re “legit warlocks,” as Gawker’s Hudson Hongo concluded. Three of the five tests had very small sample sizes and most of the subjects were undergraduates participating in an experiment for partial course credit. For researchers, these results are significant because they advance a theory about prejudice; while similar studies of racial bias have attempted to study how other races may be regarded as less than human, there have been virtually no emp…
