Trump’s Pathological Devotion to Border Walls Isn’t Political, It’s Theological

By Alana Massey

…against so generous and faultless a neighbor as Mexico in the wake of 9/11 committed me to their abolition ideologically before I could even vote. I did not even see that this personal commitment had been so wounded by a terrorist attack while watching it unfold from my own country—which was not under attack—until I saw the commitment reflected back, with such firm resolution, by someone whose country actually was. On the night of the attack, then…

Why the Media and Democrats Should Reject the Christian Right’s Pearl-Clutching and Address Problematic Religious Views

By Chrissy Stroop

…the vast majority of cases, Democrats of faith understand their religious commitments as compatible with an approach to pluralism that provides robust equality for all in the public square. Right-wing Christians, on the other hand, espouse an anti-pluralist understanding of their faith, using and abusing the rhetoric of “religious freedom” to demand the right to be, as it were, “more equal than others.” And when Democrats object to the politics o…

Dehumanizing Huckabee Tweet Another Echo of Dangerous Tribalism

By Bradley Onishi

…a column last month. “Information is evaluated based not on conformity to common standards of evidence or correspondence to a common understanding of the world, but on whether it supports the tribe’s values and goals and is vouchsafed by tribal leaders. ‘Good for our side’ and ‘true’ begin to blur into one.” As a scholar of religion, I am interested in how humans create in-groups and out-groups through language, ritual, symbols, and group practic…

Conservative Evangelical Eric Metaxas, Doing Twitter Theology, Claims ‘Jesus Was White’

By Eric Vanden Eykel

…dist Church covering that? I think it could be important.” https://twitter.com/ericmetaxas/status/1287829767753019393 But here he betrays a fundamental misunderstanding of what “white privilege” actually is and what it entails. In her book DiAngelo defines it as “a sociological concept referring to advantages that are taken for granted by whites and that cannot be similarly enjoyed by people of color in the same context (government, community, wor…

Rep. Kinzinger Rejects Judgmental Family Letter But He’s No Cure for Evangelical GOP Authoritarianism

By Chrissy Stroop

…e egregiously mismanaged, Kinzinger may be “asymptomatic”—at least when it comes to willingness to commit outright violence to overthrow an election as opposed to working within the forms of democracy to deprive the marginalized of power and equality. He seems to me to be no more willing to interrogate the root causes of extremism in his evangelical beliefs than his fellow “respectable” evangelicals Michael Gerson, Ed Stetzer, and David French are…

Record Numbers Voted for More Death and More Racism; Can We Really Just Come Together as a Nation?

By Peter Laarman

…ed—how they were even somehow gratified—by the extreme agony of low-income communities of color; communities whose members can’t work from home, whose kids can’t do distance learning, and who increasingly suffer hunger and homelessness as the pandemic raged on. A fair summary of the Trumpians’ ethics during the time of Covid 19: Better them than us. We owe them nothing. Fast forward to this very day. All of the statewide election results may not b…

Trump’s Lawsuit Amounts to ‘a Tweet With a Filing Fee,’ But That’s Not the Whole Strategy

By Andrew L. Seidel

…e to count it up. If states didn’t publish any numbers until the count was complete, the outcome would be exactly the same but without the horserace narrative and a President subverting the will of the people. Once the polls close on Election Day, nothing can change the outcome. Except litigation. It’s tempting to think that Trump only wants to freeze the numbers at a time when it might be favorable to him. That’s part of his rationale, but he’s a…

Cherry-Picking in the God Gap: A Post-Election Conversation on the Religious Vote and the Battle to Spin it

By Daniel Schultz and Chrissy Stroop

…ely that outside of RD, we’ll ever hear much about those voters’ religious commitments, or how increasing secularization among young Blacks shapes the community’s politics. Jack Jenkins had a chapter on it in his new book, and that’s all I’ve seen. Chrissy: Ha! I watched a lot of cartoons from my parents’ generation when I was a kid. And yes, I think that good religion journalism ought to be covering mainline and progressive as well as authoritari…

The True Meaning of ‘Law and Order’ Became Painfully Clear on January 6

By Jemar Tisby

…As many have noted, on social media and elsewhere, this response pales in comparison to the show of force law enforcement demonstrated just a few months ago during the Black Lives Matter protests in the summer of 2020. They stormed the halls of Congress carrying Confederate flags and smiling in pictures, perhaps the most famous of which shows an older white man, Richard Barnett, reclining in a chair in House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s office, with hi…

Where Were They Radicalized? No Answer is Complete Without Addressing Evangelical Churches and Schooling

By Chrissy Stroop

…ny years to come, sadly,” adding that the answer would lie primarily in “a combo of Fox/OANN/Newsmax and Facebook.” https://twitter.com/mehdirhasan/status/1350547045610893312?s=20 As I like to say, however, the Christian Right has been doing “alternative facts” since before it was cool. It would be remiss of us to approach the “where were they radicalized” question without addressing how the Christian schooling and homeschooling movement, along wi…
