The Most Important Religious Category of the Primaries, the Non-Religious, Doesn’t Break Down as Cleanly as You Think

By Daniel Schultz

…dn’t keep up that of older voters. Appropriately enough, Teen Vogue put it best: As expected, Sanders won big with the young voters who did show up, but the youth vote continues to be outnumbered by older voter turnout across the country. Even that might be somewhat generous. As USA Today notes, Sanders won a smaller share of the under-thirty demographic than he did in 2016 in several states. It’s worth noting this shift in a religion-and-politics…

Gingrich and Hagee, End-Times Buddies

By Sarah Posner

…an army of one million men armed with 1500 Abram Tanks which are America’s best. We sold them to Egypt along with hundreds of our latest and greatest fighter jets because Egypt was controlled by Mubarak who was America’s friend. Can you imagine what Israel faces with Iran, Egypt, Syria, Turkey and Russia coming after them? The prophet Ezekiel clearly predicted this battle thousands of years ago and you are watching the players get into position…

It’s the Water! And Other Lowlights from Presidential Science Debate

By Michael Schulson

…change,’” the Trump campaign wrote. Then things got weirder. “Perhaps the best use of our limited financial resources should be in dealing with making sure that every person in the world has clean water,” Trump continued, talking about something that has little to do with climate change. “Perhaps we should focus on eliminating lingering diseases around the world like malaria. Perhaps we should focus on efforts to increase food production to keep…

Open Carry Racism: The Right Wing Fever Dream that Predates Trump

By Jason C. Bivins

…ers of which refuse to do so. Get Out may never have been fated to win the Best Picture Oscar, but it’s still the movie that best answers the question how did we get here? while pointing to the “black mold” in the basement. But what needs to be acknowledged is that while Trump is truly exceptional in his disregard for laws, norms, and institutions, he’s also a recognizable product of a half-century’s con game. Significantly, it was with Ronald Rea…

“I’ll Pray For You”—Powerful or Pointless?

By Christine Wicker

…en, who directed Dallas’ Thanksgiving Square, to give me an example of the best prayer. Jesus had already directed Christians on how to pray, of course. Since, no one in Dallas, Texas, was going to challenge that. I was looking for second best. Elizabeth’s answer changed my entire framework for prayer. She said, “The name of God.” “And then?” I asked. “That’s it,” she said. “That’s all that’s needed.” Elizabeth’s answer made no sense to me until…

Reading Beinart and Lerner as Gaza Burns

By Ira Chernus

…ts beginnings for historians, or anyone else, to explain it very well. The best we can do is begin to map out the territory. One way to begin mapping any movement is to look at its landmark books, authored by its most prominent writers. The most obvious landmark in this case is The Crisis of Zionism, by Peter Beinart. When this pillar of the liberal journalistic establishment, a one-time hawk who supported the Iraq War as well as the Israeli occup…

Missing the Extra Point: The Real Cause of Tebow Fever

By Carter Turner

…k (which nearly all the “experts” claim he’s not), and the Broncos had the best record in football, the interest wouldn’t be at this level either. Kurt Warner was very open about his evangelical Christianity, and was a really good quarterback—even winning the Super Bowl—but his games weren’t breaking viewing records. People are watching The Tebow Show because he’s a second-rate quarterback… and winning games, often against great odds while playing…

The Latest to Botch Mormonism: Garry Wills

By Joanna Brooks

…RB may indeed have plenty to worry about from a Romney presidency. But the best way to get a sense of how Romney would govern is to look at Mitt Romney’s actual record. And the best way to get a sense of what Mormon doctrine really is and what it might mean to Romney’s presidency is to ask actual experts. Experts—Mormon and non-Mormon scholars of Mormon experience—do exist. If I wanted to get a decent sense of how Mormons relate to law and politic…

“I ‘Came Out’ For Marriage Equality”: An Anti-Gay Activist Changes His Mind

By Welton Gaddy

…was working directly with the National Organization for Marriage (NOM) in promoting this agenda, and specifically the way that I opted to do that was by organizing a summer bus tour, which we conducted last year. And the objective of that summer bus tour was to go around to the states where this is a hot-button issue, and where the issue is alive, and promote the agenda that NOM supports: that marriage is between a man and a woman only, and that…

Netflix’s Iranian ‘Messiah’ Is a Gift to Trump and His Evangelical Base

By Tony Keddie

…d-times fantasies have often followed the path paved by Hal Lindsey, whose best-selling The Late Great Planet Earth in 1970 interpreted a pastiche of biblical verses as proof that the end would begin with a Soviet invasion of Israel. He claimed that the ancient prophet Ezekiel’s warning about Israel being invaded by an enemy named Gog from the North must refer to modern Russia. Even more, this northern enemy could not succeed without the help of I…
