Bangladesh’s Atheist Blogger Still Wants to Talk

By Austin Dacey

…y’s name was Kamal,” Asif explained to me in English over a Skype chat. “I talked to him very politely, trying to understand what they want from me. We had a little chat about religion and humanity.” What Asif learned is that his would-be murderer, ten years his junior, did not want anything from him in particular, declining even a neighborly offer of food between the bars. Kamal and the other young incarcerated members of Bangladesh Islami Chhat…

Clinton’s Faith Talk Not New, But Was There a Better Answer?

By Sarah Posner

…stianity and the Bible.” But the truth is Clinton has never been shy about talking about her Methodism. In the 2016 cycle, though, she has not talked much at all about her religion, leaving that task to surrogates, as I reported last year: Burns Strider, a political strategist who directed Clinton’s faith outreach for her 2008 presidential campaign and in 2014 founded the super PAC Faith Voters for Hillary, predicted that Democratic outreach, whet…

Gay Black Church: An Interview with Bishop Yvette Flunder

By Lisa Webster

…packages. And while we were out there shopping we would talk. And we would talk and we would talk. And we would start talking theological things. And she would tell me what she believed. And I would let her tell me. and I’d say: Let’s humanize it for a minute. I’m your daughter. And I’m a same-gender loving person. Do you really believe that I’m out of relationship and fellowship with God? Do you really believe that? And she would say, No, I don’t…

Forget Debates and Dialogue about LGBT Justice, the Religious Right isn’t Listening

By Candace Chellew-Hodge

…g, but we’re just hoping it happens fast enough. In a corporate sense, you talk in your book about using “relentless nonviolence” to make change. What does that look like? For those still in denominations like the United Methodists that are not accepting of LGBT people, go to your church and put a note in the offering plate that says you won’t give until things change. Every time we’ve tried that, the pastors have called people in immediately to t…

Focus on the Family’s Conversation Starter a Non-Starter

By Sarah Posner

…s’ advocacy arm, Citizen Link, with Daly’s smiling face plastered across the top of the page, calls on its supporters to ask Congress to defund Planned Parenthood. Out of one side of his mouth Daly wants to talk to Planned Parenthood about how they can reduce abortions, and out of the other side he wants to take away the funding that enables Planned Parenthood to do just that. But let’s talk!…

Why God’s Intentions Are Irrelevant

By Sarah Posner

…ut will Democrats stop invoking religion, too? Once you tolerate religious talk in politics, you have to take all comers, from the biblical literalists to the soft civil religion types. And if you tolerate religious talk in politics, where do you draw the line on what’s an acceptable religious justification for policy, and what is not? (“I don’t think God intends that” isn’t a sufficient response to comments like Mourdock’s.) Every time a politici…

After Westboro: The Trouble With “Tolerance”

By Cody J. Sanders

…tolerance seems like a virtuous striving in our quest to “get along.” But talk about “tolerance” sounds different based on one’s position in the conversation. The talk takes on particular meaning depending on whether one is doing the tolerating or being tolerated. To queer ears, tolerance doesn’t seem like such a gift. What exactly does it mean to be tolerated? Those who were once persecuted are later tolerated. Those who were once treated with v…

A New Frontier for Democrats and Religion?

By Sarah Posner

…Cuba, and elsewhere, and combatting global poverty. Other popes might have talked about peace and poverty, but Francis’s much-discussed “new tone” seems like a permission slip for Democrats to talk religion without a full scale showdown on culture war issues. That said, there are topics apparently left undiscussed: a new war on LGBT people in Russia, Nigeria, and elsewhere, not to mention that elephant in the room with all things Francis, what fre…

Kendrick Lamar’s Hip-Hop Jeremiad

By Josiah Daniels

…good man with a broken heart? Once upon a time I used to go to church and talk to God Now I’m thinkin’ to myself, hollow tips is all I got There’s nothing quite as audacious as calling God a liar or suggesting that communing with this God leaves one with “hollow tips.” But these poets know no bounds. Not only do they scandalize us with their sacrilegious talk but they also have the gall to presume their enemies will get what’s coming to them, Let…

Sanders Gets “B-” for Religious Outreach at Liberty U Appearance

By Daniel Schultz

…sual advice pols get on religion: talk about toning down partisan divides, talk about commonalities, talk about standing in solidarity. Which is fine, I guess, but it didn’t exactly move the conversation on religion and politics forward. Bit of a missed opportunity there. A bigger miss was that Sanders didn’t really dig into the religious material the way he could have. He quoted only two passages from scripture: Matthew 7:12 (“Do unto others as y…
