Scalia’s (Not Very Catholic, Right Wing) Originalism

By Patricia Miller

…c sexual morality. As John Allen notes in Crux, he had occasion in 2012 to talk to Scalia about the contraceptive mandate in the Affordable Care Act. Scalia told him that if the Catholic bishops wanted an exemption, “they should try to get it through the democratic process.” But then he turned around and voted in the Hobby Lobby case for a much more consequential and precedent-shattering exemption for for-profit business owners rather than insist…

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…

Untethering Conscience From Religion: An Interview with Louisa Thomas

By Jeremy Kessler

…off peoples, and how should it treat dissenters among its own citizens? We talked about the role of religion in this story, and about the relationship between public and private, personal and political. What role did family history play in the writing of Conscience? I was exposed to a lot of war history growing up, both in books and in my father’s stories. My father is a journalist and popular historian with a particular interest in war—it’s actua…

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…

Alienating Even the Sadistic Trumpian Right, How Did Kristi Noem Miscalculate So Badly With Her Puppy Killing Story?

By Annika Brockschmidt

…w is ridiculous, what you are doing right now. So, you need to stop. Let’s talk about some real topics that Americans care about. And while some conservative media personalities like Sean Hannity let Noem get away with her claim that the “fake news media” had taken “the worst spin” and run with it, others like Rob Finnerty on Newsmax openly declared that her political fate was sealed: “I don’t even think you’re on the list [for vice president].” O…

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…

The Myth of ‘Voodoo’: A Caribbean American Response to Representations of Haiti

By Dianne M. Stewart

…r commercial slave dungeons along the Atlantic coast of Africa beginning in the fifteenth century. In the end, I must concur with Mr. Robertson: “Something” did “[happen] a long time ago in Haiti, and people [do not] want to talk about it.” Enslaved Africans asserted their humanity, religious freedom and political sovereignty and, under the influence of sour grapes, Western powers have sent one ‘earthquake’ after another Haiti’s way ever since….

Will House “Freedom” Group’s Core Racism Go Unchallenged?

By Peter Laarman

…. Almost nobody with a soapbox, and (sadly) none of our religious leaders, talks about broader GOP campaign to strangle what remains of the welfare state. The corporate media let well-fed white guys like Freedom Caucus leader Jim Jordan talk about the need not to saddle his children and grandchildren with government debt, but they never ask about the debt and disadvantage that is already saddled on the backs of poor children and youth of color. An…

Beck Plus God Does Not Equal X

By Anthea Butler

…d in a continuous cable loop saying “God Damn America,” but Glenn Beck can talk about black-robed armies, black theology, and all manner of theology he doesn’t understand and get away with it. Beck’s diatribes about the end of everything, his histrionics on Fox News accusing President Obama of being a racist, then not being “the right kind of Christian,” and then apologizing for that and saying “his theology is suspect,” are all designed to make y…

Iftar: Breaking Fast

By Amina Wadud

…America. All of the madness hits us double. (I think Tariq knows what I’m talking about too, right!?) We are not supposed to be both black and fluent in another language (or two). We are not supposed to think abstractly, live spiritually, and still play in the street. There is a cost not to claim all these parts of ourselves. But the much greater cost is in claiming them. To live fully. To live wholly, but still to be able to say “girl you have t…
