This is not a Religion Column: Sarah Palin, American

By Jeff Sharlet

…gion writers listened to Sarah Palin’s convention address expecting heavy religious code, the scriptural allusions that have come to be standard fare in speeches by Republicans and Barack Obama. There wasn’t much—“a servant’s heart,” a prayer for her son sent off to war. But there was, for those with ears to hear it, a far more disturbing allusion: to Westbrook Pegler, a mid-century Rush Limbaugh, and then some. At the height of his popularity, he…

The Wrong Man: Why Falwell’s Paying for His Indiscretion But Trump Gets a Pass

By Leslie Dorrough Smith

…s friend’s similarly-bare pregnant belly. This photo may strike some as a relatively tame reason for Falwell to be ushered from the stage, at least compared to his other, more controversial statements—including everything from calling the threat of Covid-19 an overblown political hoax to posting overtly racist photos on social media—but there’s an irony here that begs to be considered. Since President Trump has an even more consistent history of d…

Don’t Call It “Prayer Shaming”: Our Moral Failure Exposed

By Willie Dwayne Francois

…n violence in the U.S., as intimated by President Barack Obama, is unparalleled anywhere else in the world; it defines a uniquely American experience.

Brits Get A Dose of Christian Nation Politicking

By Sarah Posner

…lural society with citizens with a range of perspectives, and we are a largely non-religious society. Constantly to claim otherwise fosters alienation and division in our society. Although it is right to recognise the contribution made by many Christians to social action, it is wrong to try to exceptionalise their contribution when it is equalled by British people of different beliefs. This needlessly fuels enervating sectarian debates that are by…

What the Lost Finale is Really About

By S. Brent Rodriguez Plate

…). Desmond is the heroic traveler here, not just of space, but of time as well. Ultimately, the characters of Lost do not neatly stack up to their namesakes. Instead, the show takes and shakes: takes the various myths, and shakes them up. The “explanation” for the show is not what the show is about. Analyzing the symbols, connecting the dots, the numerology, the philosopher-characters, may or may not amount to the right answers. Finding the code m…

Devil’s Bookmark: Doubting God’s Existence, but Angry Nevertheless

By Bernard Schweizer

…cate his religious doubts to his father. Even Tom’s “Book Against God” gradually loses steam. So, Tom is a borderline misotheist. In the diagram above, he is somewhere in the middle of the spectrum, flanked by Proudhon, Shelley, and Pullman. And I strongly suspect that Wood himself belongs in that same basic region of the continuum of God-hatred. Of course, saying this opens me up to the charge of indulging the “biographical fallacy.” But taking m…

According to the Guardian, Yale professor, Kavanaugh endorser, and self-labeled “Tiger Mother,” Amy Chua “was known for instructing female law students who were preparing for interviews with Kavanaugh on ways they could dress to exude a ‘model-like’ femininity to help them win a post in Kavanaugh’s chambers.” Kavanaugh, like elite ivory tower prep school brethren Brock Turner (the former Stanford University student whose lenient six-month p…

In the more recent edition of the book, you note that there is a “growing interest in issues of homosexuality, spiritu…
