By Lauri Lebo

…ous beliefs. Huckabee recently said that all Americans should be forced to listen to pseudo-historian David Barton at gunpoint. While his name doesn’t appear on the list of the company’s “master historians,” Huckabee is clearly following Barton’s template where everything is spelled out in terms of good versus evil and anything in between is simply airbrushed from history.

By Ira Chernus

…io interview with Tony Perkins of the Family Research Council. No, I don’t listen to Tony Perkins. I found the quote thanks to Think Progress blogger Scott Keyes, who offered what he calls this “outlandish statement” as an example of conservatives’ tendency “to dress their political ideology in religious language.” Maybe so. Politicians typically say what their audiences want to hear and this kind of God-talk would certainly please Tony Perkins’ a…

Santa Executed by Repent Amarillo

…quad. In a video by the outfit (who, by the way, “abhor violence”) Santa’s list of “heinous crimes against the Lord our God” are read out before the execution. Among them “idolatry” for replacing himself with Jesus Christ, and for being a “stumbling block to parents who lie to their children that you exist to bring them gifts.” Then, before the violence begins, Santa is told: “We would plead that the Lord have mercy on your soul, but you have no s…

…t via their own offspring?” Vance and Masters have both not been shy about promoting their openly anti-democratic aspirations. Both have ties to right-wing extremist blogger Curtis Yarvin, a raging monarchist. Vance supports the governing model of Caesarism, which has risen to prominence on the American Right in recent years, claiming: “We are in a late republican period. If we’re going to push back against it, we’re going to have to get pretty wi…

…smaller brains” (Houston Chronicle) In fact, that’s a somewhat selective list of stories on the findings of a highly selective study. Involving less than three hundred people, the study looked at the brain volume of a group of people it divvied up according to religious affiliation (Protestant, Catholic, “born again” and unaffiliated). (Un)born again Protestants apparently won the brain volume prize. Bracketing the question of who devises studi…

However Dull or Ham-Fisted, TV is not Oppressing Mormons — In Fact, We Have a Duty to Scrutinize Religious Institutions That Endanger Vulnerable People

By Megan Goodwin

…the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, and that Mormon fundamentalists absolutely are oppressed on the basis of religion and the religiosexual practice of polygyny. That oppression allows abuse to flourish, isolating vulnerable members of Mormon fundamentalist communities and making it harder for them to get help or leave abusive situations. And this is where I take issue with shows like Under the Banner of Heaven and Keep Sweet: not wit…
