…n,’ (SFTC) the extreme right wing group that has been demanding the County Commissioners declare Mesa County a ‘constitutional sanctuary,’ where state and federal laws don’t apply.

…d herein lies an important point. In the same address, Greear affirmed his commitment to the Bible: “I am committed to letting the Scripture, and the Scripture alone, be our rule for faith and practice. Anything else is unnecessarily divisive.” In a recent review piece for RD, I wondered aloud whether “evangelical Christianity might be irredeemably patriarchal precisely because of its biblicism.” Patriarchy and the Bible, it seems, are natural bed…

By Andrew L. Seidel

…alism played in violently assaulting our democracy. Let’s hope this select committee doesn’t ignore, or worse, cover for, Christian Nationalism. Let’s hope this select committee listens to Officer Hodges. Because on January 6, Christian Nationalism proved that it is indeed un-American and that it will not go gently into the obsolescence for which it is bound.

By R.L. Stollar

…eschool curricula aren’t much better. Three of the most popular curriculum companies in homeschooling—Abeka, Bob Jones, and ACE—all started as providers to whites-only, religious private schools.

By Daniel Wise

…otestant and 100% Vodou.* In other words, we needn’t see Christianity as incompatible with any number of practices or beliefs associated with other religions or cultures.
