Beyond ‘Thoughts and Prayers’: How the Christian Right’s Politics of Providentialism Keeps America from Addressing Gun Violence

By Chrissy Stroop

…nfamous for being credibly accused of child molestation as he once was for illegally defying the separation of church and state. “Without God, there can be no ethics,” Mr. Moore said of his refusal to obey a federal court order to remove a Ten Commandments monument from the Alabama Judicial Building. This reactionary sentiment—a gesture toward the perceived cultural threat of nihilism—has nineteenth-century roots. It was a prominent theme in the w…

As COVID-19 Spreads, Nicaragua’s Leaders Opt For Trumpian Denial and Misinformation

By Jeannine M. Pitas

…sing levels of infection here. However, a closer look reveals some uncanny parallels between the US and Nicaragua in that both countries are led by governments that have not assumed strong leadership to fight the disease. In the case of Nicaragua, the government has instead made decisions that fail to stop—and indeed even encourage—the spread of COVID-19. “There is a lot of misinformation,” says Zeledón, a produce vendor at one of Managua’s main p…

Behind a Recent Stunt in Idaho Lies a Dangerous Theocratic Movement

By Chrissy Stroop

…anti-government extremist who led the occupation of Oregon’s Malheur National Wildlife Refuge in 2016. Having failed to gain the backing of the state GOP apparatus or of any state senators, the small group of extremist legislators ultimately admitted that they did not have a quorum. Nevertheless, they grandstanded and read the proclamation they’d put out claiming that Governor Little’s handling of the coronavirus crisis was unconstitutional, parti…

Love the Scholarship But Hate the Scholar’s Sin?: ‘Himpathy’ for an Academic Pedophile Enables a Culture of Abuse

By Stephen Young

…social magic: erasing the voices of those who suffer at the hands of men while also reinforcing the power of men. We call this vortex of violence patriarchy. So when, to use one of Manne’s examples, Brock Turner was caught raping a woman, his father pleaded for everyone to think of the harm that had come to his son (i.e., the rapist). Why should he lose his life’s great prospects “over twenty minutes of action”? The judge in the case agreed with t…

DeSantis’ Religious Exemption Will Kill—And it Violates the 1st Amendment

By Andrew L. Seidel

…First, there’s no legal reason to exempt churches from orders that temporarily halt large gatherings. Americans have rights to worship and to assemble, but neither of those rights is unlimited and neither includes the right to risk other peoples’ lives. Like all states, Florida already regularly limits worship gatherings that jeopardize public health. For instance, the government prohibits churches from cramming too many people into a building in…

The Religious Mourning of ‘Saint’ Kobe Bryant Continues

By Terry Shoemaker

…be sporting fans. My research indicates that sport can even help remedy familial conflict when one member changes religious affiliation or commitments. These experiences, sacred and filled with meaning-making, are sincere opportunities to be present and share in the moment with other fans, friends, and family members. My son and I, for example, watched Kobe through the years and, particularly, watched Bryant’s last game. Kobe was a key component o…

Anti-Transgender Panel at Values Voter Summit Continues Shift Towards Storytelling as Tactic

By Heron Greenesmith

…her, that the comparison is not an apt one. To Meagher, physicians and mental health professionals are too supportive of trans youth, for whom, in her opinion, the price of affirming care is too high. “There are young women with broken voices; permanent body and facial hair; male pattern baldness; scarred and flat chests; sterility; atrophy and permanent damage to their reproductive organs; their arms forever damaged, scarred, and weakened from ra…

Jerry Falwell Jr. Is Corrupt, but Liberty U’s Problems Go Far Deeper

By Will E. Young

…cceptable response but for Falwell to resign, effective immediately. But while Falwell’s departure is long overdue, it would only represent the removal of one rotten apple, while leaving the tree in place. Listing scandal after scandal, Ambrosino implicitly makes the case for Falwell’s unfitness to lead. Among other revelations, Ambrosino details, through the stories of confidants in Falwell’s inner circle, how, even when presented with photograph…

Reports of the Death of ISIS Have Been Greatly Exaggerated

By Mark Juergensmeyer

…nterviewed Muslim resistance leaders in Mindanao, they told me that the local Filipino activists who were using the ISIS brand were doing so to make themselves look more formidable. There’s a fear that ISIS operatives fleeing from Iraq and Syria might be headed to Mindanao and other parts of the world to continue their mission, but there’s no indication that they were involved in any of these recent incidents in the Philippines, Nigeria, and Egypt…

Australians Vote Overwhelmingly For Marriage Equality; and More in Global LGBT Recap

By Peter Montgomery

…re the family remains heterosexual (so no gay marriage), where abortion is illegal and reproductive freedom does not exist. They want boys to be boys, and girls to be girls, and for there to be no complexity in questions such as these. The effort is antifeminist, antitrans, homophobic and nationalist, using social media to stage and disseminate their events. In this way, they resemble the forms of neo-fascism that we see emerging in different part…
