By Chrissy Stroop

…church-state separation issues for 2020 and laying out areas of concern for 2021. Sensibly framed in terms of promoting religious equality for all—including the nonreligious—the annual report, which American Atheists first issued in 2018, tracks both “positive” (upholding church-state separation) and “negative” (undermining church-state separation) factors, which serve as the basis for an index used to issue convenient individual scorecards for ea…

Vivek Ramaswamy Represents the Convergence of White Supremacy and Hindu Supremacy — And He May Well Be Trump’s Running Mate

By Usha Kumar

…rant communities—like the Indian-American community, which doubled in size between 2010 and 2020—are taking on heightened importance. The Hindu supremacist movement could emerge as a powerful ally to the White supremacist far-right, offering a ready-made infrastructure to transform the Indian American immigrant—via their identification with a re-racialized Hindu American and an uneasy Modi Democrat—into a MAGA Republican. If left unchecked, here i…

New Patriarch, Same Patriarchy: Despite Glowing Praise For New SBC President, There’s Just One Problem

By Caroline Matas

…honors the marriage covenant and fundamentally blasphemes the relationship between Christ and the church,” but fails to clarify whether the church’s recommendation for a woman’s “separation” from an abusive husband can take the form of a divorce. As long as the SBC clings to doctrines in favor of women’s submission and against divorce, women and girls will remain in a precarious position regarding how and whether to stand up to men’s abuse of powe…

Think Yoga and Mindfulness in Public Schools Are a No-Brainer? Think Again

By Candy Gunther Brown

…a more unusual lawsuit over religion in public schools. A federal judge in Georgia sent to jury trial—slated for next fall—a dispute over a school yoga and mindfulness program. Christian parents complained that yoga and mindfulness are religious practices that do not belong in schools. But it’s not these Christians who are suing. Instead, the school is being sued for “capitulating” to Christian complaints by ending the yoga program and transferrin…

Controversial Mary Statue Weeps Because ‘We’re Killing This World’

By Joseph Laycock

…similar to that of Catholics authorites, trying to find a delicate balance between uncritical acceptance and stark condemnation. Father Ayoub remarked that he had investigated Ibrahim’s weeping statue and that while it was not miraculous, Ibrahim was still a beloved member of his parish. He added, “If you want to believe [Ibrahim], you are free to believe her.” However, for some pilgrims, Father Ayoub’s answer simply isn’t good enough. At least on…

Sweeney was a tireless traveler, as well as a tireless writer and promoter of his aesthetic and curatorial ideas. His was a version “of midcentury modernism that placed the numinous at its core.” He believed that the avant g…

Rep. Cleaver’s ‘Awoman’ Prayer Enrages Christian Nationalists Who Taste Their Own Medicine and Still Miss the Point

By Andrew L. Seidel

…every knee will bow and every tongue will confess that Jesus is Lord.” The Georgia House suffered through a sermon and then a prayer, both of which condemned all non-Baptists to an eternity of torture and torment. With the “awoman” line, they finally got a taste—the smallest sample—of what it’s like for some of the rest of us; for the nonreligious, the religious minorities, the non-Christians, the Christians who agree with Jesus’s words in the Ser…

Chick-fil-A Means “Anti-gay”?

By Candace Chellew-Hodge

…hat promotes “traditional” marriage as well as a retreat center near Rome, Georgia. Gays and lesbians looking for a retreat should look elsewhere, however. In an email exchange with one gay blog, the retreat center made it clear that it defines marriage as being between one man and woman and gay couples would not be welcome. Boycotts of Chick-fil-A have been called for, but as any consumer knows, fighting injustice is not as easy as simply heading…

By C. Joshua Villines

…ers can’t be overridden or ignored) marks the most important dividing line between mainline and evangelical Protestants, and certainly between “progressives” and “conservatives” on cultural and political issues. There’s no particular reason to think this divide will heal any time soon. The high correlation between belief in scriptural literalism and cultural-political conservatism could abate with cultural change or a shift in political preoccupat…

On National Coming Out Day, Many Still Can’t Afford the Luxury

By Candace Chellew-Hodge

…friend was, to say the least, a challenge. It led to years of estrangement between us, but in the intervening years we have reconnected and I am glad to report he has an amazing wife and two beautiful children. Getting comfortable in my new skin entailed challenge after challenge, as anyone who has come to grips with their sexuality can tell you. The biggest challenge has always been the task of “coming out,” that moment where you reveal your true…
