Has This Anti-Muslim Extremist Reformed… Or Just Gotten Less Extreme?

By Nathan Lean

…g on. He must believe that once he’s no longer with the group, people will listen to him. Heck, they may even buy his “I was once an anti-Muslim extremist” book (which happens to fit well into the growing niche of the “I was once a Muslim extremist” category). Two serious questions remain for Robinson and for Quilliam, which facilitated his departure. First, will Robinson’s message really change? Just because he’s no longer with the EDL and claims…

Affordable Care Act Needs “Fix,” Clergy Say

By Daniel Schultz

…other hand, it might not. I notice two influential groups missing from the list of supporters for the fix: non-denominational evangelicals, whose churches might be self-insured or find other ways to insure their pastors, and the Catholic Church, whose diocesan plans might be large enough not to be affected by the problem. Both groups, it’s worth noting, are heavily set against the ACA. We may yet see the GOP pinned dramatically between religious c…

SCOTUS’s Incoherent ‘Masterpiece Cakeshop’ Decision

By Daniel Schultz

…t be slavery, whether it be the Holocaust, whether it be—I mean, we—we can list hundreds of situations where freedom of religion has been used to justify discrimination. And to me it is one of the most despicable pieces of rhetoric that people can use to—to use their religion to hurt others. It’s simply a factual statement followed by an anodyne opinion. I don’t think people should use their religion to hurt others, either. Does that make me a big…

Rand Paul, Religious Skeptic?

By Sarah Posner

…levision network earlier this week, sitting for an interview with televangelists Marcus and Joni Lamb, to sell not only his faith in God, but his faith in small government. Paul’s most sincerely held religious belief, no surprise, was in minimizing government. People “think somehow there’s salvation in government,” Paul said, but “there isn’t.” In fact, lack of government oversight has been a salvation, at least a financial one, for the Lambs. As…

By the Way: Bush Commencement Opposed by Furman Faculty

By Randall Balmer

…ds. “However, these are not ordinary circumstances.” The letter goes on to list some of the moral atrocities committed by the Bush Administration. Contrary to popular perceptions, and tenure notwithstanding, it’s not easy for faculty members to stand up to their administration, especially at a relatively small school like Furman. Members of the administration ultimately determine your salary and promotions. More important, faculty members are ofte…

At CPAC the President Got the One Thing He Needed

By Bradley Onishi

…istory.’ Pence, White House Adviser Kellyanne Conway, and Susan B. Anthony List President Marjorie Dannenfelser—a Trump ally who gave a speech Thursday morning praising the president—all made a version of the claim. In a week of bad headlines for the White House, this message marked the real return to the script that helped get Trump elected. A year ago, I wrote about my experience as a single-issue evangelical voter. Even though I wanted to vote…

Family Research Council is Attacked—Tony Perkins is Quick to Blame SPLC

By Evan Derkacz

Listen to FRC president Tony Perkins talk about the deplorable shooting that took place at his group’s headquarters yesterday: [The shooter] was given a license to shoot an unarmed man by organizations like the Southern Poverty Law Center that have been reckless in labeling organizations as hate groups because they disagree with them on public policy. Naturally, you want to tear your hair out. You want to mention that if the Southern Poverty Law…

By Sarah Posner

…shops, Concerned Women for America, Priests for Life, the Susan B. Anthony List, and the Latino Partnership for Conservative Principles, an affiliate of the American Principles Project, which was launched by Manhattan Declaration author and Princeton professor Robert George. It’s a bill driven by a particular religious view, one that is undergirded by an ideology not just about the fetus (that abortion is murder) but about women and their divine r…

Gay Republicans Question Conservative Credentials

By Candace Chellew-Hodge

…Norquist is the president of Americans for Tax Reform (ATR) and has a long list of conservative affiliations from the National Rifle Association to the American Conservative Union. In his bio he proudly includes a quote from Arianna Huffington calling him “The dark wizard of the Right’s anti-tax cult.” The fact that Norquist has lent his considerable conservative clout to a gay group has Tony Perkins at the Family Research Council on the attack, a…
