…hristianity or organized religion altogether. How American evangelicalism will deal with this movement and where it, and Harris himself, will ultimately land in this shifting terrain is not yet clear. If, as historian Griffith argues, sex has been at the heart of American Christian identities, how will conservative churches respond to a sea change in American sexual ethics? As for Harris, who now runs a marketing company, he has stated that he doe…
…by some prominent person as trenchant and gutsy. The meaningless comeback will almost necessarily follow the empty comeuppance. Mere absence from the op-ed page or the Netflix queue will run its undefined term, to the point where the risk-reward ratio of associating with the today’s disgraced eminence is favorable again. Nothing need have been learned. No new duty to the community violated by misconduct need be embraced. No remorse beyond the emai…
…than elementary and secondary public schools, since Oregon’s universities will be allowed to hold in-person classes if they so choose. Once again, I turned to my friends at American Atheists, who work to expose and oppose violations of the separation of church and state, for comment. Allison Gill, the organization’s Vice President for Legal and Policy, noted the awkward comparison of Christian elementary and secondary schools to universities, seei…
…atholic Church. There’s much to be learned from the experience of evangelical parachurch organizations, operating outside of traditional religious denominations. Contrary to popular belief, the strength of the Christian Right is concentrated less in the megachurches, than in ecumenical parachurch organizations. The likes of Campus Crusade for Christ and Youth with a Mission paved the way for more explicitly political organizations like the Christi…
…enemy. Reasonable people engaging in the democratic process in good faith will always be at a disadvantage when facing people who care about nothing but power. Deferring to the authority of facts and reason is itself democracy in practice. Denying the authority of facts and reason, however, is itself something else in practice. It’s authoritarianism. Second, the conundrum of liberalism. Why are white evangelical Protestants (WEPs) and white conser…

…play, though: conspiracy-theory thinking is in fact, I suggest, a traditional hallmark of the Western apocalyptic worldview itself, including especially the kind of paranoid imagination that drives—and is driven by—the biblical book of Revelation. Crisis Apocalyptic literature has often been called “a literature of crisis,” because the work of “revelation” (apocalypsis) offered in the text of an Apocalypse like the book of Revelation commonly incl…
…e and the obscuring of differences of opinion over theology among evangelicals call the survey’s results into question. Referring to a white paper on Lifeway’s methods that he called “light on details,” Djupe noted, “If the data were gathered from a reliable online panel and Census quotas were applied, then this is a procedure used by many academics. We tend to believe that such samples can reliably test statistical relationships, but may not yiel…
…ake an other: by accusing them of preying on vulnerable populations, especially children, and of doing sex weird and wrong. With such a long scope of this being a go-to in the politics playbook, it seems like there’s no impetus for QAnon to be responded to. They don’t care if it’s true, they care if it works and it’s working for them. Carole Cusack has a very compelling way to think about religion. The question that folks want to ask from the outs…
