By Sarah Posner

…nation. So this is not unique to one group or one religion. There is a tendency in us, a sinful tendency that can pervert and distort our faith. In today’s world, when hate groups have their own Twitter accounts and bigotry can fester in hidden places in cyberspace, it can be even harder to counteract such intolerance.

…ge and artificial aspect of American politics—not the Pope’s politics—that understands concern for the disenfranchised and the marginalized to be incompatible with a deeply conservative view of religion’s place in the secular world and a commitment to a paramount religious authority.

By Kara Loewentheil

…certainly the case when you have a premature infant who is in physical distress and you don’t seek medical care). This is why the emphasis on third-party harms in religious exemption doctrine is so important.

Mormonism teaches that the Holy Ghost is a gift given by God to guide us through life’s many difficult questions.

It’…
