I Believe You’re Wrong: The Trouble with Tolerance

By Charles Randall Paul and John W. Morehead

…ponents to heartily resist or embrace our influence and vice-versa. We are free to the extent that we live in a trustworthy world. The new birth of freedom will grow as we can come see most of our opponents as men and women who, like us, dare to die for the future benefit of all—and who, like us, will rely on patient persuasion, not disdainful coercion to accomplish the good they desire. We cannot say with any degree of confidence what motivates t…

Tony Perkins: Atheists Can’t Be Chaplains

By Chris Stedman

…n important role in that context. So what about the debate surrounding the use of the word chaplain? Personally, I don’t feel particularly attached to it. But when it is the standard used for other community care practitioners, as it is at Harvard and in the military, then it should be applied across the board. I feel similarly about the debate over whether to call legally-recognized same-sex partnerships “marriages” or “civil unions;” when one te…

Mitt Romney and the Ghost of Anti-Mormonism

By Joanna Brooks

…American society must have worried about Mormon theocracy as well. People use that word theocracy too freely. Mormons then would have said that their government was an expression of popular will. They believed in the franchise, and they exercised it. But they wanted Brigham Young to be the territorial governor. When federal agents deposed the territorial government, it looked to Mormons like tyranny. They would have said, “You are violating the C…

By Frederick Clarkson

…ory of recognizing that the state can use its power to take away religious freedom.” The kind of religious freedom the panelists discussed, of course, isn’t the Orwellian distortion posed by the Christian Right in both its Catholic and evangelical wings, in which religious freedom is invoked in order to justify the oppression of others, but the liberatory idea of religious freedom for all, including the non-religious, that traditional Baptists hav…

HuffPo Columnist Tries to Link Darwin to Hitler

By Lauri Lebo

…ary He drove those enemies of the human race out of the Temple of God; because then, as always, they used religion as a means of advancing their commercial interests. But at that time Christ was nailed to the Cross for his attitude towards the Jews; whereas our modern Christians enter into party politics and when elections are being held they debase themselves to beg for Jewish votes. Finally, Hitler says this about his cause: And so, internally a…

Why Atheists Should Fight For Establishment of State Religion

By Shanny Luft

…ular liberals. Instead, they should have done everything in their power to promote North Carolina’s Freedom of Religion Act and, more, fought to establish the Christian state of North Carolina as quickly as possible. And conservative evangelical legislators need not waste their time writing toothless resolutions establishing state religions. Rather, if the Christian Right would like religion to prosper in America, they should erect a wall between…

No ‘Christian Compassion’ in Tony Perkins’ Response to Anti-Gay Bullying, Suicides

By Andrew Marin

…tion [to pursue changing from gay to straight].” True. That’s the point of free will. However, it wouldn’t be free will unless the partnered gay Christian has the ability to choose to live as a partnered gay Christian. Once these ideas were given voice the conversation quickly shifted, as each heard the other for the first time. When social policy, theology, and personally-tied emotions are parted for even the slightest moment, it becomes clear th…

RDPulpit: EFCA Needed to Stop Employers from Bearing False Witness

By Kim Bobo

…Commerce are in a tizzy, claiming the sky will fall if the bill is passed. Labor groups are united in their support for EFCA, believing it is essential to level the playing field in the workplace. I’m for the Employee Free Choice Act because it would stop employers from bearing false witness. This important commandment is too often ignored, or in my case, not understood. I get it now. Bearing false witness is serious business….

Kagan: Establishment Clause Is “Hard”

By Sarah Posner

…e has leaned toward more flexibility for religious freedom (granted by the free exercise clause) than upholding the church-state divide (ensured by the establishment clause), her answers were of great interest to church-state separation advocates. But Kagan’s answers didn’t shed a lot of light on her Establishment Clause views, other than that she believes balancing these two constitutional imperatives requires, as the Court has said, “play in the…
