…ee other causes. First, the birth rate declined rapidly as the ecumenicals promoted contraception and encouraged the entry of women into the workforce. Evangelical parents had scads of children, more even than Catholic parents during the baby boom and the decades following. Second, and yet more important, millions of young people left their parents’s church, having become involved in secular communities promoted by the social movements of the 1960…

Is Sam Harris Really a White Supremacist?

By Andrew Aghapour and Michael Schulson

…s. Truths like the fact that the vast majority of terrorist attacks in the United States were carried out by non-Muslims. Or that the vast majority of terrorist attacks in the E.U. aren’t even motivated by religion, but other causes such as anarchism and political separatism.

…ble people. Instead, religious groups can help Catholics by supporting and promoting the role of the Roman Catholic Church as one more NGO alongside their own faith communities, and as one more NGO among other Catholic NGOs. The end of the Holy See’s presence atthe Commission on the Status of Women would be a good first step toward the Roman Catholic Church’s change from a Permanent Observer at the UN to grateful acceptance of NGO status. I hope t…

…e return to a world of cultures in conflict, and ‘multiculturalism’ in the United States, which is to say the abandonment of Judeo-Christian, Western culture and values here at home.” In 1994, Lind framed the conflict as the decline of the West at the hands of the multiculturalists, and added dubious claims about Islamic incursions as well: Now we, the West, find ourselves increasingly under siege, no longer the world’s master, merely one contende…

A Christian Nationalist by Any Other Name… Is Still a Christian Nationalist

By Bradley Onishi

…ew Research Center found that more than half (54 percent) of adults in the United States had never even heard of the term “Christian nationalism,” and another 17 percent or so had heard only “a little bit.” Of the 14 percent who had heard “quite a bit” or “a great deal,” only 5 percent held a favorable view of it. Another 24 percent were unfavorable. That’s not a base broad enough to support a populist movement. Notice the line of argumentation: I…

By Haroon Moghul

…oday 15 nations, invaded Afghanistan; the U.S. worked with Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, and other countries, like Egypt and China, to offer assistance and arms to mujahidin fighters to resist and defeat that occupation. In 2003, the United States mustered a coalition of some forty-nine countries, which was strong enough to swiftly topple Iraq’s government, but not strong enough to pacify Iraq, establish a new government, or secure it from foreign fight…

Review: Is the Religious Right Dying?

By Laura R. Olson

…s. In the mid-twentieth century, the religion-politics relationship in the United States was purely assumed to be one of liberal faith-based advocacy.

In this era, conservative…

By Sarah Posner

…o wield political power, don’t represent everyone of that faith. Catholics United, for example, countered the opposition of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops when it opposed a health care reform bill that conservatives falsely claimed included federal funding of abortion services. At the same time, Catholics United won’t address the USCCB’s stance on abortion or contraception, but Catholics for Choice certainly does. The spoils shou…

The Forgotten History Behind Islamophobia and Anti-Muslim Terrorism

By Edward E. Curtis IV

…ributions of Muslims to the building of modern Western nations such as the United States, the United Kingdom, and France are just as important. It was U.S. Muslim writers and thinkers such as Mahommah Baquaqua and Mohammed Ali ben Said, who also served in the Massachusetts 55th (Colored) Infantry during the Civil War, that gave American readers some of their first accurate accounts of African cultures.
