…tion” uttered out loud any longer. What one does hear, however, amounts to code for the same thing. Thus, R.J. Rushdoony’s still-influential ideas about forging a godly nation—a nation organized according to biblical law—take it pretty much for granted that godly social organization has whites on top. Rushdoony, who lived into the current century, condemned interracial marriage as “unequal yoking.” Un-dead David Barton, another hugely influential…

Project 2025: How Trump Loyalists and Right-Wing Leaders Are Paving a Fast Road to Fascism

By Peter Montgomery

…eflected in how fully Trump’s anti-deep state rhetoric was embraced by his Republican primary opponents.[41] In other words, even in the seemingly unlikely scenario that Trump does not become the Republican nominee, other GOP contenders are pledged to wage the war he and Project 2025 are calling for against federal agencies. Central to Project 2025’s strategy for fighting that war is recruiting, vetting, and training thousands of MAGA-minded ideol…

Benny Hinn Can’t Heal His Marriage

By Anthea Butler

…Christians is not reason enough for a divorce and, more often than not, is code for “serious sin.” Pentecostals have a history of being strict about reasons to divorce, adultery being scripturally the only reason to do so. For those who divorce and who have a denominational affiliation through ministerial license, a divorce can mean, at best, additional scrutiny and at worst, stripping of ministerial credentials.

By Frederick Clarkson and André Gagné

…angelical Christianity and probably the role of the Christian Right in the Republican Party more broadly. The NAR may not be a household name, and it may not be familiar even to some religion reporters; many on the Christian Right may not even be terribly familiar with the NAR or its teachings. But its influence is undeniable and growing. Briefly, the New Apostolic Reformation is a movement inspired and largely organized by the late C. Peter Wagne…

Pope Calls Out “Bad Shepherds” as Conservatives Prepare to Fight Change

By Patricia Miller

…octrine but a fight for the soul of the church. Francis and his allies are promoting a vision of the church that’s much more live-and-let-live, repeatedly turning to the word “mercy” to describe how they view the application of doctrine to the actual lives of Catholics, guided by a sense of the larger mission of the church as spreading the Gospel, not enforcing laws. Conservatives, led by Cardinal Gerhard Müller, head of the Congregation for the D…

…ties. Anti-choice organisations have embraced this rhetoric, and use it to promote their policy agenda by presenting themselves as grassroots opposition initiatives representing citizens and their concerns vis-à-vis the political elites attempting to force a ‘new form of colonial rule’ upon them.

Are Social Issues Non-Issues?

By Jay Michaelson

…oll after poll has shown that Americans are far to the left of this year’s Republican party platform, with its total ban on abortion (and by constitutional amendment at that) and opposition to same-sex marriage—to take but two bellwether issues. If the swing voters in the swing states knew about these stances, they’d be less likely to vote for Romney, even though he won the first debate in convincing, alpha-dog style. So it’s obviously in Romney’s…

By Andrew Aghapour

…f Americans with high school educations or less). Finally, the majority of Republicans are creationists. See Gallup’s report for handy visuals of these numbers. These reports raise some interesting questions. Why is South Korean creationism trafficking in amusement parks and public campaigns, instead of science buildings and churches? How can U.S. views remain virtually unchanged since the 1980s, despite significant political and cultural changes…
