All That Glitters is Monotheism — Ignorance of Paganism Isn't The Real Problem with David Wolpe's...

In a recent essay for The Atlantic, David Wolpe, a rabbi and visiting scholar at Harvard Divinity School, sizes up former president and insurrectionist Donald Trump as follows: “the lavishness of his homes, the buildings emblazoned with his name and adorned with gold accoutrements, his insistent ego

Seeking Broad Appeal to US Christians, 'God & Country: The Rise of ...

I wanted to like God & Country: The Rise of Christian Nationalism, the new Rob Reiner-produced documentary on “the dangerous implications” of Christian nationalism. I wanted to like it in spite of the trailer’s focus on the ostensible “threat” of Christian nationalism to Christianity itself, a f

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

There are many factors that may determine whether incumbent president Joe Biden wins reelection this November. Whether the very Catholic president is visibly “religious enough,” however, is absolutely not one of them. If you’re one of my regular readers, this is probably as obvious to you as it i

Democrats Have Seized the Narrative Frame From the GOP, But Can The...

As I watched this year’s Democratic National Convention live, there were moments when it became clear that Democrats were, and are, winning on messaging. “There’s no way Republicans can compete with this,” I said out loud multiple times as Doug Emhoff, Kamala’s husband, and Cole and Ella Emhoff, her

Church Attendance is (Once Again) Correlated with Authoritarianism ...

Since 2016, I have been arguing here at RD that former president Donald Trump’s politics, and his appeal to White evangelical Christians, are best explained through the lens of authoritarianism. Pundits initially scratched their heads for entirely too long over how evangelicals could purport to foll

Good (Enough) Christians — Russell Moore in The Atlantic Illustrate...

As a transgender person who grew up evangelical and is now an atheist, I feel the consequences of the “myth of Christian innocence” that profoundly shapes American society in ways that many Americans do not. Fully two-thirds of LGBTQ Americans are nonreligious (compared to about one-third of the gen

'Have a Blessed Day' May Not Be a Sign of Christian Nationalism, Bu...

Is it valid to be annoyed when, as your plane pulls up to the gate at your destination, a flight attendant tells you and your fellow passengers, just before deplaning, to “have a blessed day”? Perhaps this question wasn’t on your American controversies 2024 bingo card; it certainly wasn’t on mine

I’ll confess something up front. I hate election postmortems. I’m not sure anybody likes them, especially after an election that may be catastrophic for one’s particular demographic. But given that, as usual, the Democratic leadership is already drawing all the wrong lessons from Kamala Harris’s def

Proud to be [a Real] American — Lee Greenwood's 'God Bless the USA'...

When you’re raised in an authoritarian Christian community you can never quite comfortably fit into, you learn early on about the ambiguity of language. Words like “love,” for example, mean very different things to a person who respects others’ bodily autonomy and a person who associates loving thei

Compared to Donald Trump’s prior term in office, the current Trump administration looks different. The gleefully Nazi-saluting billionaire Elon Musk is front and center in an unprecedented and unconstitutional role. According to RD’s Annika Brockschmidt, he “appears to be functioning as an unelected
