By Candace Chellew-Hodge

…heir number one cultural issue. What you may have missed, however, is what number two was on their list of important issues. Coming in at 18 percent behind abortion’s 41 percent response was “protection of religious liberty.” The “butter” of the usual “bread and butter” issues of the religious right—same-sex marriage—had slipped from the number two position drawing the concern of a paltry seven percent of “value voters.” Does this mean that there…

New Poll Reveals a Paradox in Evangelical Support for Donald Trump

By Daniel Schultz

…te boundary. Before secular government enthusiasts get too excited by this number I would point out that, for a fair number of evangelicals, the worry is that the state will interfere with the church, not the other way around. Similarly, a little more than one in four White evangelicals said the federal government should declare Christianity the official religion of the United States. Far more (61%) said that Christianity should not be the officia…

…entity that could make a difference in Kazangula. If we were to assume that 1/3 of the men and 1/3 of the women in Kazangula were HIV-positive (according to data from the nurse at the health clinic in 2007, that number is higher but the point is clear even if we limit our prevalence to 1/3), that means the likelihood of a couple in which at least one of the partners is positive would be just over 55%. Kristin Dunkle, a behavioral scientist at The…

…d another A you get o-BAMA. That’s a link. I’m just saying. Lowe’s = Obama = Socialism. Think about that, left-wingers. RM: I think Lowes’ ill-conceived PR decisions of late are even mind-boggling to my Canadian Socialist self! In your role in taking over our entertainment industry, you’ve appeared in some of America’s best-loved shows. You are even versatile enough to play brown, Muslim, American terrorists. But don’t you find your role in this m…

Pornography’s Dirty Little Secret: What We Say vs. What We Do

By Shira Tarrant

…outhern California church. In working with young people between the ages of 14 and 18, Beyenberg notes that teens have a lot of questions abut pornography, and they really want to talk about the issues—even if some of the teens are initially shy about it. It doesn’t help that pornography has been such a taboo topic in the church, he adds. Personally, Pastor Beyenberg hopes the frank conversations will lead to abstinence from pornography. But the f…

Does Multiverse Theory Bring Theology Into Science?

By Andrew Aghapour

…retation (MWI) of Quantum Mechanics, which Hugh Everett posited in the late 1950s. The next versions to come around were the “new” and “chaotic” inflationary scenarios in the 1980s, and the most recent has been the “landscape” of string theory, which emerged in the early 2000s. Since then, a host of rival multiverse scenarios have emerged, as well. In each case, the proponents have been ridiculed and dismissed, but with diminishing levels of ranco…

Insert Provocative Title Here: The New Media Landscape

By Onnesha Roychoudhuri

…st only, in most cases, at the mercy of advertising revenues. So while the number of voices has increased, the number of well-funded reporters has decreased. It’s reassuring to think that as print news takes a hit, online media will be there to fill the gap, but the story isn’t quite that simple. Content is certainly being generated, but it’s proving no easy replacement for print. Many publications weren’t initially eager to embrace the online wor…

By Joanna Brooks

…Christ of Latter-day Saints, it’s pretty safe to assume that a significant number of “Concerned Citizens of the United States” are Mormon. But so too are a significant number of undocumented immigrants living in the American West. As we’ve reported here at RD, the Church’s strongest growth over the last decade has been among Latino populations, and almost 4.5 million Mormons worldwide are Spanish-speaking. Economic downtimes and anti-immigrant out…
