Christian Nationalist Bestseller Rooted in Volk, Homeland, and Patriarchy is ‘Blood Relation’ of a Certain 20th Century German Manifesto

By Bradley Onishi

…es, politicians, militias, and, sadly, insurrections. As a former evangelical minister, it’s a world that shaped my youth and young adulthood. However, even after years of researching some of the ugliest corners of the Internet and living through some of the most sensational religious-political spectacles around the country, there are times you can’t believe what you’re reading—and what others are too. Stephen Wolfe’s The Case for Christian Nation…

Confronting the Rise in Conspiracy Thinking … With Wisdom Literature

By Daniel Schultz

…es, by contrast, absolve their believers of responsibility, as I say. They also diminish the extent to which stuff just happens: we don’t get rich, we have to live with the frustration of being around people who profoundly disagree with us, we suffer, we die. Chemtrails and 5G can’t explain that. Theology doesn’t necessarily get much further: God never does give Job a satisfactory explanation. But sometimes, the greatest wisdom isn’t a secret to o…

By Joseph Laycock

…en. Sharkey, 46, is still married to his estranged wife Lourdes B. Sharkey-Flash, with whom he has three children.

Americans Lose Faith, Sinning with Transfats, the Elusive God Particle

By Michael J. Altman

This week’s earthquake along the East Coast damaged the National Cathedral in Washington DC. Church attendance is dropping faster among those who don’t have college degrees. Meanwhile, Duke sociologist Mark Chaves finds that Americans are losing faith in their religious leaders. When it comes to baptisms, some are dunkers and some are drunkers. A Sacramento priest showed up to an infant baptism too inebriated to sprinkle the kids. The priest has…

‘Welcome to the War’: What a Creationist Conference Can Teach us About Evangelical Vaccine Resistance

By Caroline Matas

…it is far from alone. An entire extended universe of conservative evangelical talk radio, podcasts, television programs, articles, and Internet forums perpetuate the narrative that their consumers are under attack by a wicked world whose methods change from day to day, but whose goal is always the downfall of Christianity and Christians. Why was I the only person wearing a mask at the Answers in Genesis conference? Because this sophisticated web o…

In the Aftermath of the “Himalayan Tsunami”

By Luke Whitmore

…e Gods with the sort of unexpected intensity that comes once in centuries. Flash flooding, landslides, and rising waters stranded tens of thousands of visitors and destroyed roads, buildings, livelihoods, and bridges. It is too early to know how many people have died but the number will probably be in the thousands. The numbers may be low compared to global-scale disasters of recent years, but there is a wrenching poignancy to what is happening in…

Inventing Jesus: An Interview with Bart Ehrman

By Candace Chellew-Hodge

…s first popularized by Albert Schweitzer, the famous humanitarian and medical missionary to Africa. When he was in medical school he wrote his most famous book, The Quest for the Historical Jesus, in which he argued this basic idea that Jesus was an apocalypticist. Since then, it’s been the dominant view among scholars—even though laypeople don’t have this view. You also assert that Jesus was wrong about some things. Well, he was wrong about the d…

Q Shaman’s New Age-Radical Right Blend Hints at the Blurring of Seemingly Disparate Categories

By Susannah Crockford

…well as conspiratorial. The conspiracy theories that Angeli references are all familiar to me through my research into New Age spirituality in Sedona, Arizona. I was told that there was a secret underground base underneath the town where alien experiments were undertaken, that free energy was possible if only the dark cabal hadn’t kept it from us to continue profiting from our labor, and that the banking system and wage labor were designed to keep…

RDBook: Whither the Religious Left?

By Bill Berkowitz

…igay, and supports African political and religious leaders who advocate criminalization of homosexuality, that it is difficult to imagine that the HIV/AIDS work for which he receives such plaudits can ever be successful as gay people are driven underground due to an atmosphere of persecution and fear—and out of reach of programs that might help. As for how he fits in the wider constellation of religious leaders, as a disciple of the late guru of m…

How a Bill O’Reilly Bestseller Helps Explain the Anti-Semitism Behind the Poway Shooting

By Tony Keddie

…The wide appeal of the gospel of white nationalists More than the theological mind-sludge of an angsty teenage terrorist in a fringe church, the shooter’s rant reproduces anti-Semitic interpretations of the New Testament that are widespread among American conservatives. Take, for example, the best-selling book on Jesus in recent years, Killing Jesus: A History by disgraced Fox News pundit Bill O’Reilly and sports writer Martin Dugard, both Roman C…
