…cause that will endure beyond their lifetimes. A second study attempted to test unconscious beliefs by having 71 New Zealand undergraduates rapidly categorize a series of 20 nouns as “real” or “imaginary.” During this study, Jacobs reports, non-believers wavered from their disbelief after being reminded of their morality.

The Bible Is Not a Diet Plan

By Rob Goodman

…at the superhuman degree of willful blindness it must take to read a profound story of conquest and resistance, of identity and assimilation, and discover, at the bottom of it all… a diet plan! A story, sacred or secular, is a test of our empathy: an invitation to enter into the trials and hopes of a stranger.

Be Afraid

By Jay Michaelson

…as soon as they gain enough political power, they use that power to change laws, segregate the sexes, fund their religious schools, and foist their vision onto the rest of us. Moreover, as a handful of protesters have recognized, this anti-Internet rally is taking place in the shadow of an unprecedented probe into sexual abuse in the ultra-Orthodox community, which appears to be rampant. When ultra-Orthodox rabbis aren’t busy railing against the…
