By Daniel Schultz

…tly, repeating bad-faith assertions gives them power. It’s something journalists pride themselves on being trained not to do, yet very often they continue to struggle with it in the post-Trump era. And make no mistake about it, Graham’s questions were not offered in good faith. People reacting to his interaction with Jackson seemed to think he was grilling her, but I saw something much more passive-aggressive. Anyone who has spent real time in the…

The Right Wing Slant on Religious Freedom is a Slippery Slope

By Frederick Clarkson

…ims, “This act is designed to strengthen child placement options in a pluralistic culture.” There’s certainly nothing pluralist about excluding people of other faiths. But just as with religious freedom, that may be a matter of who gets to define it. What’s wrong with this picture? The growing departure from historical, common sense understandings of the meaning of religious freedom is on vivid display in the Tennessee case. Outside of the legisla…

How the Religious (and ‘Nones’) Vote May Tip 6 Swing States

By Daniel Schultz

…elicals tend to be conservative, giving the president a strong base in the South—this much is not surprising. Less obvious is that after Mormons, white Catholics and white mainline Protestants are Trump’s strongest supporters in the religious economy. As it happens, there’s a lot of voters like this in Pennsylvania and the industrial Midwest. In short, southern white evangelicals and northern Catholics and mainliners made it possible for Trump to…

Citing ‘Matthew 25’ Isn’t a Viable Democratic Faith Outreach Strategy

I swear some journalists think we lay down at night listening to Jim Wallis’ latest audiobook after setting our Mao caps down carefully next to our Jimmy Carter icons and reciting Matthew 25 a few times.
