Pelosi Attacker’s New Age Spirituality and Belief in QAnon is no Contradiction

By Susannah Crockford

…allegations that the Ukraine war is being fought so that Jewish people can buy the land. Violent ideations are implied in the posts. For example, he states that “any journalist” saying that there is no evidence of voter fraud in the 2020 election “should be dragged out into the street and shot.” Under a “Spirituality” tag are posts discussing quantum mechanics and consciousness; gnosticism; and the statement that “belief creates reality”—all commo…

…Blackwell, Viguerie and the “Goldwater Boys” as model strategists for the international Right Alexandre Pesey is the embodiment of the fact that global networking between right-wingers has been going on for decades. After training at Morton Blackwell’s Leadership Institute he founded the Institut de Formation Politique (IFP), which has since gained notoriety as a “finishing school educating the far-right leaders of tomorrow.” The Frenchman cites…

Bachmann Tries to Smooth CPAC Rifts

By Sarah Posner

…ly 11,000 strong, according to organizers, all of whom Bachmann offered to buy drinks for at her reception later this afternoon). Without ever once invoking God (although there was much invocation of country — “we are the indispensable nation of the world”), Bachmann did make reference to the split between the religious right and CPAC organizers over the latter allowing a gay Republican group to participate in the conference. “A carpenter knows,”…

When Violence is Inevitable: Club Q and the Success of the System

By Heron Greenesmith

…ars ago. Maybe Congress could have acted then to make it more difficult to buy a weapon that can easily kill so many people. But they didn’t. And now five more people are dead and twenty-five more injured. The system is working perfectly. And late 2022 is bearing the fruits of a violent summer and fall. Did you know that twice as many transgender people were murdered in 2021 than in 2019? Here’s another fact: Did you know that, contrary to right-w…

The Rise and Fall of an American Gang: Religion as Camouflage?

By Spencer Dew

…he wrong people—undercover feds. My hope would be that anyone who wants to buy an illegal rocket launcher falls for the “trap” of buying a disabled unit, complete with tracking device, from the feds. But The Almighty Black P Stone Nation is a book for gangbangers and gang idolizers, too. A helping of hagiography is mixed in with the history, just as polemic against law enforcement is peppered throughout. The authors, no doubt, have justifications…

To Be Atheist, Feminist, and Black

By Sikivu Hutchinson

…an oxymoron and that they live on the “margins” of their communities. The numbers of “out” or publicly self-identified atheists of color are increasing. African American women are a vocal and visible part of this population. In the book I devote a considerable amount of time contrasting the cultural, social, and political concerns of African American atheists/humanists with that of white atheists allied with the New Atheist movement. I argue that…

NOM’s Gallagher: “Don’t Call Me a Bigot!”

By Candace Chellew-Hodge

…e law, I can build a lifelong relationship with my partner, have children, buy property in common, and do everything other married people do. But, when one of us dies, we are strangers under the law. The custody of the children is up for grabs, perhaps by parents or grandparents who disapproved of the relationship. Our property is up for grabs, usually by greedy family members who smell quick money from estates. Our government refuses to give us b…

40,000 Fundamentalists Can’t Be Wrong: Investigating Mormon Polygamy

By Sanjiv Bhattacharya

…s never a mission objective, though I doubt Mormons will be rushing out to buy copies for their friends. But to inform and entertain? Absolutely. This is a first-person exploration of polygamous groups and the issues they raise, and I always thought of the reader as my traveling companion as I went around Utah knocking on doors. Sometimes things didn’t go according to plan. While some groups invited me to stay over for weeks on end, others threw m…

Doing a Dukakis (But with Jesus) — Biden Does Not Need to Be More Publicly Christian

By Chrissy Stroop

…ctor of advocacy group Faith Forward, on her organization’s “six-figure ad-buy targeting religious voters around Easter.” (Let me note here, in passing, that the emphasis on Easter here implicitly conflates the meaning of “religious” with “Christian,” which is itself a problem.) According to Butler, her organization’s ads aimed “to give people a really clear moral choice that we need to put God and human dignity of all people first and foremost as…

Katie Britt Wants You to Be Afraid — It’s the Fuel That Feeds Conservative Power

By Daniel Schultz

…nomenon. They’re simply an extension of the evangelical path of literally “buying into” the fold, stretching from contemporary Christian music to the Left Behind series to James Dobson’s books and cassette tapes—albeit with a much deeper reach than earlier iterations. The French philosopher Guy Debord criticized such performative attempts to fit in as “spectacle,” defined as social connection formed through participation in commodified identities….
