Paul Ryan’s Bible, Jim Wallis’, Or None of the Above?

By Sarah Posner

…ial welfare programs, God doesn’t like what FDR is doing. What about the up-and-out? Don’t they deserve love as well? Doesn’t Henry Ford need somebody to love him? Who needs Ayn Rand when you have The Family? Even for rank and file religious right activists, who draw on Christian Reconstructionism and Christian anti-communism born in the Cold War and surviving today, the government should stay out of these social compacts. One argument goes that a…

Good Hair, Good God! The Divine Politics of African-American Hair

By Anthea Butler

…atures became a precious commodity within a closed religious system; darker-skinned, kinky-haired women could look forward to becoming the head of the usher board, but never a vaunted evangelist or pastor’s wife. Although I would have loved to talk about this within the confines of my book, the pictures of bishops, their wives, and other pastoral couples left me both vexed and afraid. I didn’t want to risk offending people who had not figured out…

…children of darkness.” The Muslims are coming, Netanyahu implies in a clash-of-civilizations tone, declaring, “I tell our friends in the enlightened world: Our war is also your war. If we do not stand together in a united front, it will reach you as well.” In their different ways, Netanyahu and Biden—in spite of the latter’s recent timid criticism of the former—echo the longstanding and multi-sourced discourse of erasing the presence of indigenous…

Little ‘Value’ in New Harris Book

By Michael Ruse

…l, hang on a minute. Before we go off and celebrate in the bar that two-and-a-half thousand years of moral philosophizing can now be brought to an end, let’s ask a few questions—the sorts of questions that one might ask of a first-year undergraduate who comes up with an answer like this. First, what does “well-being” even mean? Notoriously, Jeremy Bentham argued that the old English child’s game of push-pin is as good as poetry. The more sensitive…

Worse Than Madoff: Amway Launches Domestic Revival

By Bill Berkowitz

…eneurs left only with garages full of products, motivational tapes, and get-rich-quick books doing little but gathering dust. If you’ve watched any television at all since the holidays, you might have wondered why a company called Amway Global ran so many commercials. Were these ads for the same company that has, over the years, been widely accused of running a pyramid scheme, paid nearly $20 million in fines in a Canadian criminal fraud case, and…

The Resurgence of Right-Wing Anti-Semitic Conspiracism Endangers All Justice Movements

By Ben Lorber

…manifesto published on a far-right message board by the alleged shooter, 19-year-old John T. Earnest, makes it clear that the white nationalist ideology that inspired him is also implicated in a number of other recent attacks, including the Pittsburgh synagogue shooting in October, the killing of 49 Muslim worshippers last month in New Zealand, and the 2015 murder of nine African-American Christian worshippers in Charleston, South Carolina. In Ear…

Religious Right Abandons Pepsi Generation

By Candace Chellew-Hodge

…r for the AFA and other anti-gay groups to portray gays and lesbians as sub-human sex addicts out to recruit and molest children. If gay and lesbian people are seen as “normal” then that “normalizes” and “humanizes” them, and the AFA simply can’t have that. The AFA is also upset that Pepsi has financially supported the Human Rights Campaign (HRC) as well as Parents, Families, and Friends of Lesbians and Gays (PFLAG). But the worst thing Pepsi is d…

Mormon Women Declare “Wear Pants to Church Day” December 16

By Joanna Brooks

…ated. SDF: The women at the Mormon feminist group LDS Wave have a terrific rundown on inequality in Mormonism, including: “I feel unequal when there are more (a lot more) men’s voices in religious texts, meetings, leadership positions, and decision-making bodies.” “I feel unequal when callings that don’t necessitate the priesthood are given only to men: Sunday School Presidency, Brigham Young University Presidents, Church Education Commissioners,…

Why Pro-Life Voters Shouldn’t Trust Trump on Abortion—And Why It Doesn’t Matter

By Neil J. Young

…33 percent of evangelicals there. But evangelical leaders are right to distrust Trump’s pro-life claims—not in spite of the examples of Republicans who changed on abortion like Ronald Reagan, George H. W. Bush and Mitt Romney, but because of them. Unwittingly, Trump’s nod to history undermines his claims because it highlights the contrasts of his biography from Reagan and exposes the very different political terrain of 2016 from 1988. Although Rea…
