Don’t Blame Secularism: Reading Blind Spot: When Journalists Don’t Get Religion

By Jeffrey Feldman

…e idea of democracy. When evangelical Christians do not push themselves to understand the moral underpinnings of secular culture, when secular leaders block scripture or theology from the conversation in the public sphere, and when all of us pass up the opportunity to learn the details of Iraqi and Iranian Islamic traditions—it is our understanding of democracy that suffers. As these problems are ongoing, so too will be their solutions, which are…

RDBook: Darwin and Slavery

By Arri Eisen

…h islands the food was, and where the finches lived. But I hadn’t the slightest idea that underlying Darwin’s work on the finches was a very human concern about race. In fact, his work on all of the following organisms was driven by racial concerns: slave ants (red-colored ants that live in Britain and keep ‘slave’ ants, which happen to be black, as protectors of their nests and were cited as support for the ‘naturalness’ of slavery by slave owner…

Tinkering with Creation: Intelligent Design 2.0

By Lauri Lebo

…more than six months later, Buckingham and his fellow board members would deny under oath that he made the statement at the meeting, or that any of them even so much as uttered the word creationism, only sealed their fate for what would come to pass. Their remarks, and their denial of them, led to a six-week trial in which intelligent design’s creationist roots were laid bare, the lead intelligent design expert admitted that for ID to qualify as…

John McCain: No God But Country

By Kathryn Lofton

…Robertson Republican who will lose to Al Gore.” This Reagan Republican has come around on Pat Robertson politics, volunteering to sacrifice once again for his country a piece of himself. At the “Civil Forum on the Presidency” moderated by Rick Warren at Saddleback Church this past August, and on countless other occasions during the campaign, McCain has canonized one anecdote to answer every question about God, every question about faith, every inq…

RDBook: Whither the Religious Left?

By Bill Berkowitz

…he receives such plaudits can ever be successful as gay people are driven underground due to an atmosphere of persecution and fear—and out of reach of programs that might help. As for how he fits in the wider constellation of religious leaders, as a disciple of the late guru of modern corporate management Peter Drucker (who taught at Fuller Theological Seminary) he is more about building a religio-corporate empire than preceding leaders of the Re…

Purpose Driven Politics: Rick Warren’s Civil Service

By Bill Berkowitz

…r the past four years, thousands of members of Saddleback Church have been testing prototypes of the P.E.A.C.E. Plan around the world,” the release continued. “During this phase, called P.E.A.C.E 1.0, more than 7,700 members volunteered on over a thousand P.E.A.C.E. teams to serve in 68 countries. A dozen other Purpose Driven Network churches were invited to beta-test the plan with Saddleback. After studying the data reported back by these teams,…

The Theodicy of George Carlin

By Kathryn Lofton

…chistic rehearsal, leaving in its wake a lot of cultural Catholics and few committed Sunday visitors. “They made questioners out of us,” he said, “which is maybe why so many of us lost the faith.” Despite the wicked, foundational reason imprinted by his Morningside Heights parish, Carlin relied upon easy Catholic insults his whole life. “I used to be Irish Catholic and now I’m American. You know, you grow.” The tug between sin and salvation produc…

A Religious History of American Neuroscience

By Leigh Eric Schmidt

…ors claimed to be hearing the voices of angels. The psychophone no doubt sounds absurd, but I can’t say that it sounds much more far-fetched than a transcranial magnetic stimulator. Both demonstrate the enduring cultural impulse toward techno-theologizing. However much neuroscientists might want to forswear an interest in the metaphysics of their brain-scanning technology, it is clear that such brain-imaging techniques are inevitably framed by pre…

Its the Spiritual Economy, Stupid: Why the Gay Marriage Fracas Isn’t About Either

By Nick Street

…ces in neuroscience suggest that empathy, compassion and even self-transcendence are common features of human experience—regardless of the cultural influence of particular religious texts and practices. Revelation, it seems, is happening all around us. How can the defenders of orthodox faith claim an exclusive franchise on something that’s freely given? To judge from their role in California’s gay marriage drama, religious conservatives are levera…

Was Ghana Anti-Gay Scare Just Politics?

By Warren Throckmorton

…led on the government to crack down on gays. Very similar rhetoric is now being heard in Ghana, with gays being accused of recruiting in schools and contributing to the rise in disease and moral decay. If the media reports are an indication, Mr. Knight is correct that the Ghanaian public is growing fearful that gays will lead to catastrophe in that country. What is not clear is whether or not the Ghanaian government will follow Uganda and take ste…
