"People often focus on the 'social' aspect of gender, by which they mean the human world," writes Ryann Croken. "But I see my trans identity as ecological, because it’s within this widest expanse of diverse life that it’s been most clear to me." ow.ly/icPA50RqN3q
"Kenny contend that historians must reckon with the lasting impact of White Protestant women’s attempts to 'manage' race through the auspices of organized religion and the language of proto-second wave feminism." @carolinematas reviews @glkenny's book: ow.ly/P1vO50Rour4
"Uncovering the truth about Jay Shetty’s life loses its power once we realize that he isn’t some unique figure," writes @ppersaud0415. "Instead, we might reorient our gaze and ask what his popularity reveals about us and the persistence of Orientalism." ow.ly/CARY50Roh28
"There are two evangelical factions in the GOP—Greene’s pro-Trump, pro-Putin, populist MAGA, Steve Bannon group; and Johnson’s (also) pro-Trump, Russia-skeptical, establishment Washington, Tony Perkins evangelical crowd," @dianabutlerbass writes: ow.ly/azlX50Rn9Oy
"After a thousand-plus years of Christian leaders using Hell as an attack dog, one of several consequences is this: An obsession with the afterlife leads us to ignore the Hell all around us." @MichaelJAltman interviews @JasonKirk_fyi about his new book: ow.ly/uK3c50Rmj5p
"The Bible functions as a symbol for White evangelicals; if the Bible is centered, then so are they," writes @CavanConcannon. "Trump sees the Bible as necessary for all Americans, a dog whistle that only Bible-believing Christians are 'real' Americans." ow.ly/ZzI450Rlb55
"As we think about abolishing the War on Terror, I wanted to come up with a taxonomy of its violence because it’s so embedded now," @Dr_Maha_Hilal tells @PRAEyesRight's Habiba Farh. "How do we de-normalize the War on Terror?" Read the full interview: religiondispatches.org/innocent-until…
"What’s important here isn’t just the use of the Bible as a money-making scheme for Trump himself," writes @parkandwreck. "Rather it’s the demotion of even the sacred revelation of God’s own Word into nothing more than 'pro-God content.'" ow.ly/SLPg50RjoXY
"In this sense, for Tamares the [Exodus] story is as much a warning to Jews as a celebration of Jewish freedom," writes Shaul Magid. "There is nothing to prevent a nation, any nation, from becoming like ancient Egypt as depicted in the Hebrew Bible." ow.ly/gzzQ50Rj3oZ
"When two Supreme Court justices flirt with Comstock, they’re sending a clear message," writes @1gillianfrank1. "In the wake of Dobbs, they’re saying it’s open season on the landmark court cases that gave Americans sexual privacy & reproductive choice." ow.ly/8vzg50Ribf2
"There is a relatively small band of people with strongly held religious beliefs pulling the Republican Party toward Christian nationalism," writes @pastordan. "They are not, however, the ones who usually get the splashy headlines." ow.ly/cxNV50Rh7jZ
"The gender binary isn’t something natural, innate, or essential; it’s learned. And since children’s ideas aren’t yet fixed, there’s a possibility they may never learn," writes @mcooperminister. "And that’s why so many of these bills target youth." ow.ly/qF4250RezRp
"It’s not every day a legitimate paradox turns up in national polling," writes @pastordan. "But the Pew Research Center’s recent survey on the influence of religion on American public life seems to have uncovered one." ow.ly/jzZT50RezMl
"Combating religious nationalism will require more than education," writes Willie Young. "If we want to check the growth of religious nationalism we must learn to recognize its emotional valences and how they motivate aggression and hostility." ow.ly/Q7f450RezFW
"Traces of what led to Bosnia’s demise are unnervingly apparent in the United States," writes @IsmarVolic. "Our political system is a knotted web of malfunctioning processes that propagate and amplify the perils to democracy from every direction." ow.ly/P3kb50ReaZj
"In his rambling 75-minute speech, Trump delivered his most thorough articulation of his vision of White Christian nationalism to date," writes @robertpjones. "It was received by an enthusiastic crowd." ow.ly/HQwh50Rcj8s
"A large and growing chunk of the Democratic base is nonreligious, and faith outreach fanatics push the party to ignore this constituency at the party’s (and the nation’s) peril." @C_Stroop for RD: ow.ly/WjvC50RbuP0
"If a person wants to deny the results of the 2020 election, they don’t need to find a truckload of fake ballots. They can simply assert that the election is part of a larger struggle with the forces of hell." @Repino1 writes for RD: ow.ly/25pl50R9Sps
"When Christians from any racial demographic were informed that Christians would likely become a minority in the US by mid-century, it elicited feelings that their status and their rights as Christians were under attack," writes @pastordan on a new study: ow.ly/JrAO50R9Sov
"Biden’s blind Zionism renders him indifferent to others and incapable of empathy or curiosity, all of which are qualities one seeks in a President." @haroonthemoghul writes for RD: religiondispatches.org/whats-the-matt…

I sent out this link to my latest story for @RDispatches yesterday, but I want to bring out a few points from it: (1/x) religiondispatches.org/new-report-map…
Excellent and funny analysis of the TnT discourse on the right from the brilliant Dr. MRO @ISASaxonists 👇🏽
"Silence is complicity—and no matter how the Right or the pop-culture world spin the Swift/Kelce story, it’s all about generating outrage to fill pockets while we ignore an instinctive human connection we all have deep within us," writes @ISASaxonists. ow.ly/ypVg50QBZCT

New from me: I discuss the problem of discussing Oct. 7th as primarily an act of antisemitism, which gives us a distorted understanding of the violence. Antisemitism has a particular DNA and history, despite how the word is overused today.
"Al-Aqsa Flood was a calculated political gamble—one that may be frightening, but not illogical, or even unique," writes @shane_burley1. "To explain it away as antisemitism would be to inject a lack of political sensibility into the action." religiondispatches.org/why-antisemiti…

To say last night was exhilarating would be an understatement. I was terrified nobody would show up to my event at @BenchmarkBooks, the Mecca of Mormon history. Instead, it was an overflowing crowd spilling into the halls. They nearly sold out of all 100 copies of #AmericanZion.
“My point is that the ‘anti-Zionism is antisemitism’ dictum is just another chapter in the narrative to make sure Jews in America don’t feel too safe, or too wanted, as Jews,” writes Shaul Magid for @RDispatches. Read here: ow.ly/4jHq50QoStG

“Instead of an anointed instrument of God like the Persian king Cyrus, Trump appears in [Ralph] Reed’s book as the Roman emperor Tiberius, the last hope of the apostle Paul, an embattled Christian citizen.” religiondispatches.org/the-wrong-empe… — @RDispatches

Read this article in @RDispatches that draws the through lines between White Supremacy and Hindu Supremacy, how the convergence and prominence of Trump and Modi created a perfect environment for the ascension of a candidate like Vivek Ramaswamy: ow.ly/k5Xe50QixOS

White Christians always cosplay themselves into the Bible as the 'good' guys w/ power, divine blessing & as specially chosen. Never as the downtrodden--or as Empire. It's something I address here (see also de La Torre's Reading the Bible from the Margins): religiondispatches.org/netanyahus-gen…

Shepard's parroting of right-wing anti-trans mis- and disinformation propagated by outlets like @nytimes demonstrates the pervasive influence of an organized, anti-trans Right. PRA’s resource provides useful tips on how to counter these narratives: buff.ly/3rv7cuU
On the Sep. 25 episode of actor Dax Shepard’s podcast “Armchair Expert,” Shepard peppered guest Jonathan Van Ness, a nonbinary celebrity, with a barrage of anti-trans talking points around trans inclusion in sports and detransition amongst teens. (1/2)
