If it’s Really About “Religious Freedom,” Why Mention Just One Belief?

By Sunnivie Brydum

…cept my order for a cake. FADA would, at the very least, allow a religious business-owner to launch a sexual behavior investigation before agreeing to work with a given customer or hire a potential employee. The basic question at hand is this: at what point does our right to equal treatment under the law take priority over a business owner or healthcare provider’s religiously informed feelings about our relationship? And what are the appropriate l…

LGBT Editor In Bangladesh Murdered by Islamists—and More, In this Week’s Global LGBT Recap

By Peter Montgomery

…about what is happening on the streets and what is going to happen in your business, what is going to happen in your church, what is going to happen in your school, or whether you will be able to keep your job or your business, because this is in the public domain, and what we are seeing really is a plan for sexual anarchy and sexual nihilism,” said West. He charged that persons who opposed the homosexual lifestyle in some countries are prosecuted…

The “Batsh*t Crazy” Party’s Candidates Assume Their “Religious Liberty” Stances

By Patricia Miller

……what I’ve said, Hugh, is that, look, where does it end? If you’re in the business of selling things, if you’re not going to sell to somebody you don’t agree with, OK, today I’m not going to sell to somebody who’s gay, and tomorrow maybe I won’t sell to somebody who’s divorced. I mean, if you’re in the business of commerce, conduct commerce. That’s my view. And if you don’t agree with their lifestyle, say a prayer for them when they leave and hop…

The Tebow Superbowl Ad: Offense, Defense, or Interference?

By Louis A. Ruprecht

…unthinkable, an abortion, and so they have ironically entered the realm of business. And here, the recent Supreme Court fudging aside, the rights of free expression in a business context do have significant limits. Gimme that Pro-Bowl Religion Probing those limits is the question, and the essence of the game. It is a close-run thing and a hard line to draw, to be sure. Here’s how you don’t draw it. You don’t cry foul based on what you have heard,…

By Andrew L. Seidel

…of these nominees. As Senator Whitehouse said today, “It absolutely is the business of this committee to make sure that nominees who seek judicial office in the United State of America will leave their religious beliefs in the robing room and not bring them up onto the bench . . . Our courts are not temples to any god, but temples to law and justice.” In short, some nominees have made their religion the business of the committee. Cruz berated Book…

Bobby Jindal Squares Packing Heat with Jesus

By Welton Gaddy

…rtance of treating a house of worship any differently than a university, a business, or a civic auditorium (recall his defense for using taxpayers’ dollars to fly around Louisiana giving his Christian testimony exclusively in evangelical churches). Little wonder that he would fail to see a difference between carrying concealed weapons to a church and to a civil protest. But, thankfully, no government leader gets the right to determine the sanctity…

Catholic Child Neglect: DC Archdiocese Cuts Adoption Rather Than Abide Same-Sex Parents

By Mary E. Hunt

…they, too, were expected to obey the law. So they went out of the adoption business. They reasoned that it made up 4% of their budget so it could be sacrificed in order to keep the rest of their government funding. Religion is a dirty business. In Catholicism, a lot of local activities are dictated by the Vatican. Surely the “success” of the Boston move was made clear to the DC people who followed suit. I expect more dioceses to fall in line as sa…

Why the World Needs Religious Studies

By Nathan Schneider

…o do the same thing. Both, it could be said, are on the lookout for value. Business tends to look for financial value, and religion scholars tend to look for social value, but it’s a pretty similar task in either case. Both have to wonder, What’s in it for whom? You have to look past what someone might want you to think is important to notice what lies beneath. I think of a reporter I know who covers religious sex abuse scandals for a major newspa…

Profits Over Principles for Romney?

By Joanna Brooks

…be true that Mitt Romney was CEO of Bain when they won some Phillip Morris business,… the Russian strategy stuff, which sounds more damning, seems to have mostly happened from 1993-1995,” when Orit Gadiesh was Bain’s CEO. However, Jason Linkins challenges McArdle’s conclusions in his Huffington Post article, presenting evidence that it was Romney who was actually in charge of Bain during these years. To whatever extent Romney was involved and to w…
