RDBook: Power Belongs to God

By Nathan Schneider

…Throughout, he suggests, the power principle is at the core of American Protestant fundamentalism, and The Family is its purest manifestation. So we don’t have to, Sharlet catches himself in the act: “We keep trying to explain away American fundamentalism.” Barack Obama’s notorious suggestion that in their misery, small-towners “cling to guns or religion” certainly belongs to this old Marxist habit. But while Sharlet stops himself short of explain…

By Reza Aslan, Bill Collage and Adam Cooper

…uch so that we still study them 3,000 years later. For each of us, we are devoted to our respective faiths, and passionate about our artistry. That’s why we are convinced that if the entertainment industry fails to show faith-based programming, we will miss out on opportunities to explore and understand the rich values and moral complexities that exist at the heart of our religious texts. It is our hope that secular critics will understand that it…

After Ferguson: America Must Abandon “Sick Christianity” at Ease With Violence

By Willie James Jennings

…fe against private property and commerce. Only in a distorted world turned completely into commodity, could a life be weighed against private property. Yet we hear constantly the comparison between loss of life and the destruction of property as though these things are on the same plane of moral existence. Black life has always lost out in that calculus, because the ideas of law and order have overwhelmingly been orientated toward the protection o…

Yankton Sioux Revive Isnati Coming of Age Ceremony

By Joanna Brooks

…four days after the onset of a girl’s first menses when adult women of the community nourish, bathe, teach, and rename girls and guide them in rituals of self-reliance like gathering their own medicines, making their own ceremonial foods, and erecting their own lodges. Young boys too play a role in Isnati, by keeping fires burning in the camps day and night. After decades when traditional indigenous religious ceremonies were banned by the federal…

Beyond Adam and Eve

By Becky Garrison

…tionary biologist and transwoman Joan Roughgarden came to St. Gregory’s around 2002, the community had learned enough that she could call this church her home. When the Rev. Stephanie Spellers, Priest and Lead Organizer for The Crossing in Boston tries to engage the church on this issue, she finds that the liberal churches tend to be silent on transgender issues, while the more conservative churches shout that transgender people are living “a lif…

Masculine Christianity, Praying Ballplayers, & Satanist Discrimination

By Michael J. Altman

…sm prove that it is still a relevant topic. And philo-Semitism is still around as well. Fundamentalists and other conservative Christians unite with conservative Jews in Zionist hopes and millennial visions.

While Salon offers a look at a Nevada megachurch th…

By Gabriel Mckee

…ways of looking at the same phenomenon, and these are frequently neither incompatible with one another nor competing to provide answers the same sorts of questions. Perhaps it is time to stop asking whether religion or science offers a better explanation of natural phenomena, and instead ask, much as we might of art, whether we find a certain religious vision compelling—and if so, why. Religion (as I see it—and of course that’s the point!) differs…

The Heresies of Christopher Hitchens

By Austin Dacey

…ling for better wages, prices, and the legalization of trade unions independent of the Communist Party. Sontag shocked those assembled by denouncing all communism: I repeat; not only is Fascism (and overt military rule) the probable destiny of all Communist societies—especially when their populations are moved to revolt—but Communism is itself a variant, the most successful variant, of Fascism. Fascism with a human face. Hitchens was impressed. He…
