And while there has been some fluctuation among the “super attenders,” those who attend church once a week or more, a majority of White evangelical Protestants still report attending church this frequently—a rate more than double the general population (54…

Why Religious Exemptions Matter

By Sarah Posner

…s and does not count as a “religious objection”? What does it mean for an outfit to “hold itself out as a religious organization”? For example, will a humanitarian organization with a devoutly religious board of directors that claims it directs the organization based on Biblical principles qualify for exemption? Or are there other qualities included in “holds itself out as a religious organization”? By what standards will HHS determine all of thes…

Don’t Misread Russell Moore’s Disavowal of “Christian Nation” and Anti-Trump Stance

By Daniel Schultz

…tist leaders are taking as well. Any of these options involves some risk, but door number three is a particularly dicey maneuver. It’s basically telling Trump and his supporters to kiss off. Since those supporters make up a fair portion of the conservative movement, anybody hoping to lead it in the future has to hope they will have enough of their own people remaining to do so.

Evangelicals ‘Crossing the Tiber’ to Catholicism

By Jonathan D. Fitzgerald

…ember Peter Kreeft’s Catholic Christianity as a factor in his conversion, but he also points to a number of other courses that he took at King’s that led him to the point of conversion. He says of the college’s curriculum that it is “not a ‘great books curriculum’ but it draws heavily on the liberal arts tradition.” He adds, “You can’t study the liberal arts without confronting the rich history of Catholicism.” Indeed The King’s College is a micro…

“I Speak to God in Public”: Are Young Black Millennials Reclaiming a Theology of Resistance?

By Joshua L. Lazard

…and applied it to black millennials via the Black Lives Matter movement. But the Pew numbers don’t exactly confirm this. And Breinart’s statement, although a true fact, ignores the other side of the coin that there are prominent black churches that have embraced Black Lives Matter, fueled by the 18-29-year-olds in their congregation.
