Andrew Sullivan Really Took This Opportunity to Misread Intersectionality?

By Sunnivie Brydum and Evan Derkacz

…Charles Murray and published an excerpt of The Bell Curve as editor of The New Republic (which, incidentally, alienated his entire staff and poisoned his relationship with mentor Leon Wieseltier). As one writer put it in a 2009 profile: “Sullivan thought it was a serious, scientific work that should be discussed.” He’s clearly changed little on this issue in nearly a quarter century. Setting aside the fact that it wasn’t exactly a departure for Mu…

A Church With a Hole In Its Heart: An Excerpt from Peter Manseau’s “One Nation Under Gods”

By Peter Manseau

…its divot of sacred soil suggests the story told by this “little well” in New Mexico belongs equally to all Americans. This goes beyond the physical; it is not just a matter of the chunk of earth that we call the United States. The hole at the back of the church is a product of the same process of conflict, negotiation, and compromise that can be seen throughout American history. Though the epic of belief and unbelief in America seems from the st…

Pat Robertson Gaga for Gbagbo

By Sarah Posner

…rican Center for Law and Justice’s activities in Zimbabwe (where ACLJ also promotes recognition of a “Christian nation”): The Zimbabwe outpost of the ACLJ isn’t Robertson’s first foray into Africa.

By Sarah Posner

…r snap some photographs. Here’s E.J. Montini, a columnist with the Arizona Republic, who says that “extremists in the legislature [are] essentially appeasing zealots out in the community.” He calls the bill “a most ungodly way to view religious freedom:” Arizona is not alone. Even though it looks like Kansas’ controversial HB 2453 won’t make it through the state senate, it’s possible the bill’s supporters will recraft it with different language an…

By Caroline Matas

…i-immigration—are chafing against what numerous publications, from the New Republic to Ms. to the Atlantic have called “the war on women” being waged by the Republican Party in general and the Trump campaign in particular. (Of course, one might argue that many of the earnest political beliefs shared by evangelical women actually stem from these same misogynistic roots—but we’ll come back to that later.) These women and their progeny are Kristin Ko…

Response: Is the Centrist Orthodoxy True?

By Frederick Clarkson

…Times and former neoconservative intellectual Damon Linker, writing in The New Republic). It is just too easy to cast this story as a predictable disagreement between experienced “priestly” political pragmatists and “prophetic” but impractical progressive purists. That is the story that the RIC leaders like to tell over and over and over again. But there is a considerable body of data and published critiques that belie the orthodox narrative. When…

Tea Party Needs a History Lesson on Islam in America

By Michael J. Altman

…is a “Christian nation.” In fact, during the early period of the American republic America depended on many Muslims for its economic success. On the one hand, many of the African slaves that worked to produce the raw materials of early American industry were Muslims. On the other hand, during the trade of goods between India and New England, some of America’s trading partners were South Asian Muslims. These two economic factors helped keep the yo…

The Problem We All Live With: Bearing Witness, But Never Finding Justice

By Emilie M. Townes

The videos of their deaths allow us to bear witness, but it will not necessarily bring justice.” But we began this on the bad foot of Article I, Section 2, of the U.S. Constitution of 1787 that declared that, for…
