The evangelical/integrationist right has finally noticed (and is obviously nervous about) James Talarico as a potential alternative voice for Christianity in the discourse (they’ve had the monopoly for soooo long!).

Well done. I’d have added Jimmy Kimmel’s invocation of faith on his return in the list of recent examples. Otherwise only the right has such language. That’s one of the causes of the problem @nytdavidbrooks
I feel like I am taking crazy pills. Charlie Kirk’s ultimate goal, which he said time and time again, would have been the suppression, through threat of violence and the use of state power, of the rights of those he disagreed with, including freedom of expression.

gcaptain.com/bankruptcy-o.... A lesson for all of us in the time of Trump and the “tech bros..” Do we need a more vivid example of the dangers of unbridled entrepreneurial hubris than the Titan disaster? No…we can’t just follow the technology where it supposedly leads us.
We know at least some of the cardinals saw this image....did the Vatican just join Canada and Australia in having an "anti-Trump" election? inquiring minds....
I’ll admit to anti-Christian bias: I’m biased against Christian snowflakes who can’t stand to be confronted about the contradictions between the Gospel and *their* biases…
Pleased to see the arrival of the new Second Edition of my book *Religion in the Media Age* (London: Routledge)
This is the realization of a long strategy by the State of Israel. Those trips for pious Christians during which they met none of the actual Christians living there but came away with brimming support for the Jewish state and its implicit plans for the territories… www.nytimes.com/2025/03/08/w...

This interpretation of these results is misleading…the study is comparing 2014 and 2024 results and the decline has continued…but a ten year time gap doesn’t really help us understand actual trends…

I'm afraid this piece does not make a convincing case that US secularization is "on hold." As with so many accounts, it also confuses what it actually means by "religion."
One Nation, Under God www.nytimes.com/2025/02/26/b...
Another effort from the NYT to explain American religion which unfortunately misunderstands and misreads its object…it says secularization is “on hold”…?
