Books Must be Hardbound, Quotes Whole, and Genitalia Scrubbed

By Joseph Laycock

…with a selection of hardbound books on atheism. This week posters for the South Bank Atheism Society (SBAS) were removed from London South Bank University by student union authorities. Once again, the claim was not that atheists cannot express themselves, but that the posters did not to comply with the union’s standards. The posters featured a parody of Michelangelo’s “Creation of Adam” in which God has been replaced with the Flying Spaghetti Mon…

The SBC Sexual Abuse Scandal is a ‘Success’ Story of the Theological Vision and Social Structure of the ‘Conservative Resurgence’

By Diana Butler Bass

…es as dutiful possessions of their masters. Thus, Baptists in the American South eventually became Southern Baptists—a denomination where a culture of southern patriarchy and deference prevailed. That culture had originated in Anglican prerogative and entitlement, and it was not native to Baptists’ own egalitarian religious movement. Yet, hierarchy reshaped the very meaning and practice of being Baptist, and it displaced spiritual freedom by repla…

Barna Plays God, School Board Boot Camp, and the Birth of the ‘SAGECON’: Day 3

By PRA Staff

…“we are consolidating the Hispanic conservative movement—whether Anglos or African Americans, we need to unite. God is in the unity. We need to enlarge the tent.” Meanwhile, the true extent of the much-touted shift rightward among Latinx communities in the U.S. remains unclear. While some precinct-level analysis suggests that, compared with his performance in 2016, Trump made gains among Latinx voters in 2020 in places like South Texas, some surve…

The Death of a Black Man at the Hands of Black Officers Unveiled Something More Complex Than Whiteness

By Willie Dwayne Francois

…operates as a cardinal project of police culture. The police forces in the South originally organized to patrol slaves—Black people running for their freedom and safety from state-honored violence known as chattel slavery. In fact, U.S. policing started in Boston to control poor Irish immigrants; in the South to maintain the slavocracy; and in the Midwest to intimidate Native Americans into a unique form of segregation. The anti-Black, anti-immigr…

Why Don’t White People Show Up For Juneteenth The Way They Showed Up For George Floyd?

By A. E. Brooks-Key

…is.” With all due respect, Rev. Barber is wrong here. Juneteenth isn’t an African American Yom Kippur, it’s a time of joviality and happiness. Photographs from the turn of the 20th century show African Americans in decorated carriages on the way to church, not for funerary processions but for Jubilee Day, a day filled with “communal barbecues, concerts, prayer services, parades, as well as baseball games, fishing, and rodeos.” On the other end of…

Neighborhood sign reads: Stop Teaching Critical Race Theory To Our Kids.

Uncovering the (White) Christian Roots of Slavery, Native American Genocide, and Ongoing Efforts to Erase History

By Bradley Onishi

…these wild conspiracy theories to going to such great lengths not to count African American history as a high school AP credit. In the state of Arkansas… and in Florida they’re doing some very similar things [to cover up the treatment of African American and Indigenous people by White Christians]. These are fairly extreme responses. And I think they’re—maybe the better word is desperate—responses to kind of keep it covered up, right? Because I thi…

Vivek Ramaswamy Represents the Convergence of White Supremacy and Hindu Supremacy — And He May Well Be Trump’s Running Mate

By Usha Kumar

…a Black Democrat, to “modern grand wizards” of the Ku Klux Klan (KKK), and promoted a politics of malevolent race-blindness as a cornerstone of his campaign, tapping into the growing reactionary movement against a substantive and just multiracial democracy. Likewise, Ramaswamy has repeatedly praised Indian PM Narendra Modi, arguing that U.S. actors should emulate the way in which Modi “talked unapologetically about Indian national identity.” He ha…

Church of Pain: Religion, Ritual, and the Body in the New Serial Spin-Off, “S-Town”

By Spencer Dew

…the series for the New York Times, calls McLemore, “the peppiest pessimist south of the Mason-Dixon line,” noting his “talent for profane rants about civilization’s downfall that he delivers in an Alabama drawl.” There is more than a touch of exoticism in S-Town. The weird old south gets trotted out for display: a secret segregated room with an empty stripper pole, full of casually racist drunks; an anti-social eccentric commissioning iron gates f…

Turn on the News: Why Ketanji Brown Jackson’s Faith Doesn’t Matter (But Amy Coney Barrett’s Did)

By Daniel Schultz

…o consider “both sides,” speaking to a Jackson supporter from the National African American Clergy Network and a detractor from the conservative Ethics and Public Policy Center. The premise of Smith’s piece is supremely unhelpful, if you’ll excuse the phrase. For one thing, as Rob Boston points out in his article, there was far more reason to question Barrett about her faith: she had signed a statement opposing legal abortion, taught at the Christ…

Two Former Nuns Get Civil Union in Italy; Kenyan Govt Partners with World Congress of Families; Mexican Activists Debate Outing of Priests; Global LGBT Recap

By Peter Montgomery

…hereas understanding, tolerance and generosity have been the values of the African tradition, groups like WFC export hate and propaganda to our countries, disguised in flowery and seemingly harmless language like “Family Values.” Maina writes that a proposed “National Family Protection and Promotion Policy,” which could “have a significant effect on the quality of Kenyans’ lives,” has not been made public. Maina concludes: These recent development…
