The Religious Right’s Apocalyptic Visions of an Obama Presidency

By Bill Berkowitz

…nts have been built, and off-shore drilling has been stymied; conservative talk radio hosts have been “silenced”; Christian publishers have been censored; and dozens of former Bush Administration officials have been prosecuted and are now in jail or bankrupt. The Christian from 2012 writes that “Christians share a lot of the blame” for these events, by not realizing that voting for Obama in 2008 would result in a “far-left agenda [that] would take…

By Joanna Brooks

…re resources than young womens’ programming, or the unwritten rule against talk about Heavenly Mother—shape the spiritual lives of Mormon men and women. It’s a conversation restarted today.

To learn more about what Wear Pants to Church Day was really about, please…

Does “Religious Freedom” Deserve Scare Quotes?

By Sunnivie Brydum

…extual equivalent of adding air quotes and rolling one’s eyes—like when we talk about Donald Trump’s support for so-called traditional marriage. (He’s such a proponent of the Biblical definition of marriage he’s been married three times, after all!) This simple piece of punctuation casts doubt on the validity—or even the very existence—of the subject in question, signaling to readers that they should be skeptical of any explanation or justificatio…

A Love Letter (and Challenge) to Evangelical Women, ‘For Our Daughters’ Documents Devastating Cost of Christian Patriarchy

By Caroline Matas

…e power brokers of the Republican Party spells sure disaster. “When people talk about turning the US into a Christian nation, it makes me quake to ponder what that would mean for women in this country,” Brown says in For Our Daughters. “Because I have seen what it means for the largest evangelical Protestant faith group in the country, and it is bloody awful.” Therein lies one of the key takeaways from Du Mez’s new documentary: outsiders, be warne…

The Tragedy of Religious Freedom

By Patrick Hornbeck

There has been a lot of talk lately about religious exemptions—legal arrangements that excuse individuals and groups on faith-based grounds from laws and regulations that would otherwise apply to them. One law professor, Marc DeGirolami, has claimed these disputes highlight the “tragedy of religious freedom”: that is, the realization that “decision making in this area… will be forever burdened by tragic outcomes, results that sacrifice important…

Welcome to the Shari’ah Conspiracy Theory Industry

By Sarah Posner

…t allow them to come into our country and proselytize in their mosques and talk about overthrowing our government, our constitutional democracy, and replace it with shari’ah… it’s sedition.” Shari’ah Is Already Here “The threat of Sharia has even begun to strike in the United States,” reads a dire warning on the website RadicalIslam.org, maintained by the Clarion Fund. “Today you can find closed communities of Radical Muslims across the United Sta…

Pastor Rob Bell Catches Hell From Conservatives

By Eric Reitan

…munication by tweet. Disagreeing with God I was immediately reminded of a talk I gave a bit over a year ago to a group of Christian faculty about my last book, Is God a Delusion? And although that book is a critique of the new atheist attack on religion, somehow during the discussion period the conversation turned to Christian universalism. One of the more conservative people in the audience (we’ll call him Jim) said rather forcefully that Jesus…

More Than Big Hair and Money: Jim, Tammy Faye and the Media “Holy Wars” of the 80s

By John Wigger

…at largely happened through innovation, including the Christian television talk show format, which Bakker pioneered with Pat Robertson at the Christian Broadcasting Network in the 1960s, PTL’s private satellite network, launched in 1978, a year before ESPN, and the theme park, Heritage USA. The Bakkers signature television show, the PTL Club, was broadcast live, five days a week, with little scripting. Tammy once did an episode on a merry-go-round…

Jesus Christ and Super Stars: How The Holy Rolled Mainstream in Pop Music

By Alana Massey

…is nothing I can do now to right my wrongs (Jesus Walks with me)/I want to talk to God, but I’m afraid because we ain’t spoke in so long. This desperate cry to the heavens comes from a prodigal son beset by evil and temptation seeking the guidance of God. West has never shied away from sharing his faith publicly, but the public’s inclination to identify all of his declarations as art projects and gimmicks has prevented him from being taken serious…

Gordon Gekko Gets God: The Heritage Foundation of Theology

By Peter Laarman

…e words from David Brooks’ May 5 column to give him pause: The Republicans talk more about the market than about society, more about income than quality of life. They celebrate capitalism, which is a means, and are inarticulate about the good life, which is the end. They take things like tax cuts, which are tactics that are good in some circumstances, and elevate them to holy principle, to be pursued in all circumstances. In Jay Richards’ worthles…
