Religion and science in couples therapy.

The oddities of last night’s debate.

Leadership team announced for Florida Republican Party straw poll this week.

A new book shows how a cohort of Protestants, Catholics, and Jews altered the nation; from the Social Gospel movement through anti-Communism, Civil Rights and even into the rise of the religious right.

What is the media getting, and not getting, in its coverage of the religious right in politics?

Last week, Lisa Miller, religion writer and editor ( Newsweek and the Washington Post) filed an op-ed in which she fulminated against “the left” and journalists who have raised concerns about the influence of dominionist thinkers on Republican presidential candidates like Michele Bachmann and Rick Perry.

Texas Governor Rick Perry says of his August 6 “call to prayer for a nation in crisis” that we need to call on Jesus because “some problems are beyond our power to solve.” Here, John Adams is resurrected to provide guidance.

But “tax slavery” and “slavery to sin”—that’s another thing.

Let’s just face the facts and not kid ourselves anymore. It’s time to wake up and smell the coffee… er, tea. The Republican Party is not a political party but is now a full-fledged religious movement.

The theological underpinnings of GOP presidential candidates’ ties to neo-confederate groups.
