Huckabee Calls For Civil Disobedience, Utterly Misreads MLK, Jr.

By Peter Gathje

…uples. The third criterion Dr. King identifies is that “an unjust law is a code that a numerical or power majority group compels a minority group to obey but does not make binding on itself. This is difference made legal. By the same token, a just law is a code that a majority compels a minority to follow and that it is willing to follow itself. This is sameness made legal.” For same sex couples to have legal access just like heterosexual couples…

Why Can’t We Take Death Seriously? The Obama Administration’s Latest Retreat

By Peter Laarman

…saults from the newly-emboldened Republicans. Calling the administration’s latest retreat “lamentable,” the Globe says that the White House “should have stuck by its convictions.” Mind you, the regulation would not have required physicians to have these conversations with patients; it would merely have made sure that the doctor’s time is covered in the event that the subject gets raised during the course of a regular check-up. And, as the Globe co…

In Just 10 Years ‘The Book of Mormon’ Musical Has Gone From America’s Darling to America’s Latest Problem — The Inverse of the Mormon Story

By Jake Johnson

…jectory of The Book of Mormon from America’s Broadway darling to America’s latest problem traces an inverted path Mormonism itself took in this country. Born in 1830 in upstate New York, Mormonism spent much of the nineteenth century retreating further and further into America’s middle spaces in the face of rejection and violence. Mormons practiced polygamy and built communities of shared resources—qualities that historian Paul Reeve has shown dis…

Pam Geller’s Latest Subway Ad Inadvertently Attacks Hebrew Bible

By Hussein Rashid

Pam Geller has unveiled her latest subway ad which turns out to be just as absurd and offensive as the last—though with quite a bit more irony to it. “Soon shall We cast terror into the hearts of the Unbelievers,” it reads, quoting a snippet translated from the Qur’an. As one of the folks behind the #MySubwayAd response to her last round of hateful and wasteful spending, I was pleased to see how absolutely disgusted New Yorkers were, with some e…

Religion, Lies, and Videotape: Planned Parenthood and the Latest Fake Sting

By Donna Schaper

…zation founded in 1916 to disseminate birth control. (Thank God for Maggie Sanger.) It is an organization that one out of five American women have visited and which focuses on reproductive health as well as breast exams and excellent sexual education for girls. It also provides safe, legal, and moral abortions. The folks behind the sting have much less of a resumé. They used secretly recorded video of a Planned Parenthood doctor discussing (what t…

The Latest on Zubik v. Burwell: Religious Orgs Propose a Compromise That They Themselves Would Oppose

By Elizabeth Reiner Platt

…y through the legal thicket. Two weeks ago, following oral argument in the latest challenge to the Affordable Care Act’s (ACA) contraceptive mandate, the Supreme Court issued an unusual order. Acting more like a mediator than the nation’s highest court, it asked the parties to try and find a compromise solution that would ensure employees and their families receive cost-free contraceptive coverage without a burdening the employers’ religious belie…

Latest “Religious Freedom” Bills Reveal a New Strategy

By Sunnivie Brydum

…express religious or political viewpoints.” Kentucky’s new law is just the latest salvo in a growing trend that uses weaponized “religious freedom” legislation to target specific state functions or agencies, effectively gutting existing LGBT protections in those areas. South Dakota led the way, followed by Alabama, and Texas’ SB 156. The avalanche of anti-LGBT legislation already passing necessitates a sobering reminder: It’s only March. “Several…

Space X and the Photo-Op: Trump’s Use of the Bible Was Just the Latest in a Series of Christian Nationalist Messages

By Tony Keddie

…onately affect people of color. The infernal business beneath the garb The promotion of corporate investment in space exploration is only the latest instance of the Trump administration cloaking neoliberal initiatives in the garb of Christian nationalism. And it won’t be the last. When an administration that questions climate change and mocks public health officials during a lethal pandemic appears committed to “scientific discovery,” we can trust…

Latest Diatribe on Francis and Latin Mass in the Times Launders the History — and Troubling Elements — of the ‘Tradition’

By Matthew Gabriele

…and how he’s used the papal throne to enforce the reforming spirit of the latest council. It’s a curious piece, making sweeping (and often untrue) claims to support its points while channeling generations-old talking points to advance a political agenda. The program of such reactionary Catholics is to erase tradition and adaptation, and to ultimately—and ironically—make the Church more “Protestant.” Dougherty’s argument is that desire for the so-…

What the Latest ‘God’s Not Dead’ Gets Egregiously Wrong — and Right — About Homeschooling

By R.L. Stollar

…sm, Christian Nationalism, and even straightforward racism. In short, they promote exactly the same teachings highlighted in We The People when the pastor of the homeschooling families goes on a rant about the United States’ allegedly Christian heritage. Another accurate point the film makes is that secular and other non-Christian homeschoolers are generally supportive of evangelicals’ libertarian approach to homeschool policy. In the movie, a div…
