In our final Discourse! episode of the season, Andie Alexander, Craig Martin, and Paul-François Tremlett team up to discuss the concept of “harm” and religion as it pertains to recent legislation in Texas, the role of religion in politics in Scotland’s recent election for First Minister, and questions of AI, religion, and desire. It’s quite the conversation, so be sure to tune in!

In today’s episode, Daniel Jones talks with Travis Warren Cooper about Cooper’s recent book, The Digital Evangelicals: Contesting Authority and Authenticity After the New Media Turn (Indiana University Press, 2022) and they discuss how issues of authenticity, authority, and power are deeply intertwined with US “evangelicalism” and its mediatization.

In this episode, Charles McCrary joins Matt Sheedy to discuss the role of sincerity in shaping American conceptions of religion that he explores in his recent book Sincerely Held: American Secularism and Its Believers (University of Chicago Press, 2022). Tracing a cultural history of “sincerely held religious beliefs,” from 19th century court cases on fortune telling and the policing of morality in New York, to conscientious objectors in the 1940s and 1960s, McCrary helps us understand how the U.S. Supreme Court has determined who and what counts as ‘religious’ as American secularism developed over the last century. Questions of race, gender, and sex are also in the mix, as recent cases have shifted the burden of sincerity from the protection of ‘minority’ beliefs to the rights of people and corporations to deny people services if they feel it violates their religious freedom. Also, as noted by Charlie and Matt in the episode, this discussion is a great conversation partner for our recent episode with Finbarr Curtis , “ Spitting on the Sacred: Politics and Redefining Profanation “—be sure to check it out if you missed it!…

For our May episode, Discourse! heads Down Under once again as ⅔ of our usual suspects—Carole Cusack & Raymond Radford—explore religion, politics, life and death in the Australian religious sphere. They cover a variety of recent issues from the banning of hate symbols and the rise of right groups in the wake of the pandemic, to Australian sovereign citizens and gun deaths, to the deaths of high profile priests and the different (and indifferent) reactions from both politics and media. Be sure to tune in! Articles Discussed “ Why were neo-Nazis at an anti-trans rally in Melbourne? “ “ Victoria to ban Nazi salute after ‘disgusting’ scenes at anti-trans protest “ “ Moves to ban Nazi hate symbols across the nation “ “ Queensland police arrest 12 members of religious group over death of eight-year-old Elizabeth Rose Struhs “ “ Queensland police say Wieambilla shooting was ‘a religiously motivated terrorist attack’ “ “ 6 dead, including 2 police, in Queensland shooting.

In this week’s episode Sam Gill joins RSP editor Andie Alexander to discuss his recent book The Proper Study of Religion: Building on Jonathan Z. Smith . They consider different methodological and theoretical questions in the academic study of religion, such as comparison, difference-making, play & movement, experience, and “storytracking”—a narrative technique and method for critical self-reflection and scholarly analysis. Gill outlines a playful and proper study of religion that builds on the work of the late J. Z. Smith and demonstrates how a critical scholar of religion might apply Smith’s methods in their own scholarship.…

In this episode, religious studies scholars Matt Sheedy and Tyler Tully, along with host Candace Mixon, discuss the ramifications of the in-progress Supreme Court case Groff vs. Dejoy , the Catholic Church’s decision to rescind the Doctrine of Discovery, and a recent controversial tweet by the conservative media pundit, Ann Coulter. In threading these discussions together, they consider religion as negotiated in the public sphere and the limits of accommodations across religious boundaries. In Groff vs. Dejoy , one issue at play is the interpretation of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, directly related to workplace accommodations, including for religious reasons. Current precedent reflects on the issue of hardship for the employer in accommodating the request, and that hardship must only be minimal for the employer to find it unable to be accommodated. As the court may widely expand the grounds through which employees may seek religious accommodations, our guests consider the ramifications of this (especially for non-Christian practices and on non-linear framings of time) and connect to broader impacts of religion in recent Supreme Court decisions, such as overturning Roe vs. Wade . Tully and Sheedy respond to the Catholic Church’s rescinding of the Doctrine of Discovery , demonstrating the Vatican’s “doublespeak” as it downplays the interconnection between “religion” and “politics.” Finally, Sheedy introduces listeners to the incendiary tweet by Ann Coulter that abortion should be banned “for registered republicans only.” The guests consider what happens when legal debates become part of public rhetoric and who is left out when it goes mainstream.…

In this week’s episode, Raymond Radford is joined by Bradley Onishi to discuss his new book Preparing for War: The Extremist History of White Christian Nationalism—and What Comes Next (2023). In 2021, as the Capitol building was being overrun in an attempt to stop a transfer of power, many of us were glued to our screens. Some such as Bradley Onishi were not only glued to their screen but counting the symbols and motifs he saw amongst the crowd. Onishi recognised the symbols as various religious organisations and thought back to his own past with Christian Nationalism, asking himself if he were still at his old church would he be storming the steps of the Capitol. Onishi’s new book chronicles the rise of the White Christian Nationalism movement in America, and its connections to the Evangelical movements as they navigate to institute a theocratic regime through creative use of politics and bargain-making. What they want to achieve and how they seek to achieve these powers are explored and discussed as Bradley and Raymond discuss history, motives, and the outcomes of these movements, and why hope is still an option to combat them.…

This month’s Discourse is hosted by Suzanne Newcombe, who’s joined by Michael Munnick and Carmen Becker. They start by discussing the recent shooting at a Jehovah’s Witness Hall in Hamburg and how it has reopened discussions about discrimination. They then turn to Scotland, where discrimination is again an issue in the election of Nicola Sturgeon’s successor as Leader of the SNP. Are Kate Forbes’ opinions on equality criticised for being religious, or for not being progressive? And finally, they discuss the case of Isabel Vaughan-Spruce, a pro-life activist arrested apparently for the crime of praying as a protest outside a UK abortion clinic. Articles Discussed “ Hamburg holds service for Jehovah’s Witness shooting victims “ “ Hamburg shooting: Seven killed in attack on Jehovah’s Witness hall “ “ Hamburg shooting: seven people killed in Jehovah’s Witnesses hall “ “ Zeugen Jehovas beklagen Täter-Opfer Umkehr ” (YouTube) “ Gedenkfeier für die Opfer: Zeugen Jehovas fühlen sich ausgegrenzt ” (YouTube) “ BELGIUM: Jehovah’s Witnesses acquitted on appeal for alleged discrimination and incitement to hatred “ “ SNP leadership: The perils of mixing politics and faith “ “ Scottish nationalism now ‘more religion than politics’ says Better Together strategist “ “ Kate Forbes faces backlash over gay conversion therapy comments during SNP leadership debate “ “ British pro-life advocate again arrested for ‘thoughtcrime’ of silent prayer near abortion clinic “ Video of arrest (Twitter) “ Law and religion round-up – 12th March “ “ CPS rejects charges against Catholic arrested for ‘thought crime’ prayers “ “ Catholic woman prosecuted for silently praying outside abortion clinic is CLEARED after arrest by police sparked fury among supporters who condemned ‘thoughtcrime ‘”…

In this interview, Dan Gorman talks with Leigh Eric Schmidt about his 2021 book The Church of Saint Thomas Paine: A Religious History of American Secularism . Despite its title, Schmidt’s book is not a religious biography of Thomas Paine, but rather a survey of the ways that atheists and agnostics have used Paine as a symbol or figure of devotion. Schmidt organizes his book into sections on secular relics (focusing on Paine’s exhumed, missing body), secular rituals (focusing on nineteenth-century Americans who sought new frameworks for life events), and secular institutions (focusing on attempts to organize various churches of humanity). An epilogue looks at secularism in the twentieth century. Several atheist and free thought congregations earned tax-exempt status as religious organizations, but religious conservatives from the Cold War onward stoked popular fears that secularists wanted to take over America. Throughout the book, Schmidt highlights a fundamental argument in the atheist/nontheist community: Does an absence of belief in God mean an absence of religion and all the things that go with it? As Schmidt’s history of Thomas Paine fans reveals, the answer is no; a religion can operate on functional lines without a belief in God. Other topics of conversation include the effects of COVID-19 on Schmidt’s research and writing process, the design and semiotics of the book’s hardcover edition, conservative critiques of Schmidt’s support for liberal religion and secularism in public life, and the book’s connection to Schmidt’s earlier Restless Souls (2nd ed. 2012).…

In this episode, Dr. Finbarr Curtis joins Jacob Noblett to discuss the growing phenomena of profanation as it concerns American politics and culture. Rather than define a holistic movement, Dr. Curtis explores the relationship between certain “forbidden” taboos and how they affect democracy in both a theoretical and very real sense. Using his book, Going Low: How Profane Politics Challenges American Democracy , as a guide, the “shock” culture of modern politics is broken down into digestible insights regarding the nature of “winning” and the fundamental conflict between private and public spheres of government influence as it pertains to religion. Update: This episode is a great conversation partner for our episode with Charles McCrary , “ What’s Sincerity Got to Do With American Secularism? ” which published a few months later.…

Benjamin P. Marcus is your host for this month’s episode of Discourse! , the RSP’s monthly, critical take on the category of religion in the news. Ben and his guests, Paulina Gruffman and Charles McCrary, start by looking at a recent Pew survey on religious literacy. What sorts of things do Pew count as knowledge about religion, and what religion(s) do they include? And what does this say about what we as scholars think we are doing when we talk to the public about religion? This leads into a conversation about the coverage of the so-called Asbury Revival. Do we authorise certain voices in the language we use, and whose terms we use? What happens if we describe them differently? Articles Discussed “ A nonstop worship gathering at a Kentucky school echoes an old Christian tradition “ “ ‘Incredible’ stories of healing, reconciliation emerge from Christian revival at Kentucky college “ Mike Pence’s Twitter thread on Asbury University Revival Enstedt, Daniel. “ Religious Literacy in NonConfessional Religious Education and Religious Studies in Sweden “ “ Asbury Outpouring (aka Asbury Revival) | Documentary Film ” (YouTube) “ How much do Americans know about the faiths around them ?”…

In this episode, RSP editor Andie Alexander talks with Teemu Taira about his recent monograph Taking ‘Religion’ Seriously: Essays on the Discursive Study of Religion (Brill, 2022). They discuss the usefulness of various discursive approaches to the study of religion and explore the ways in which these methods can be applied to specific studies of how different social groups understand, use, and negotiate the category of ‘religion’. Taira outlines how he has applied discursive methods both in his research and in the classroom, so there are a variety of examples for how one might begin to apply these approaches in their own work.…

Theodical arguments are perhaps some of the most difficult to bring to a firm conclusion, particularly when placed in certain historical contexts. The Holocaust is one such instance, particularly for Judaism. Where was God during this event and how does that impact religion and its practice going forward? In this episode, long-time friend and former co-editor of the RSP Dr. Breann Fallon sat down with Assistant Professor Barbara Krawcowicz to discuss the multiple perspectives on this question in Krawcowicz’s new monograph History, Metahistory and Evil: Jewish Theological Responses to the Holocaust (Boston: Academic Studies Press, 2021). Fallon and Krawcowicz delve into the different streams of Judaism and the differing theological responses to the Holocaust between them. Interestingly the discussion considers differing views both during the War and post-War, looking at the immediate and long terms responses to this historical event. While no firm answers are garnered, the melding of humanity, religion and lived experience combine to raise interesting questions about the place of both history and meta-history in the religious studies context.…

In this episode, Ting Guo chats with Rebekka King and Tenzan Eaghall about their edited volume, Representing Religion in Film , published by Bloomsbury in 2022. This book points out the “ideological blindspot” of existing studies on religion and film by emphasising the ways in which cinema and filmmakers are situated in, constructed by, represent, and (re)produces the ideologies of our world. This book presents a critical approach to religion and film and engages with the latest debates such as the world religion paradigm and critical theories in the field religious studies. It was my great pleasure to talk to them as both an RSP interviewer and a contributor of this volume.…

What unites the death of an emeritus pope, a Brazilian insurrection and the debate about the relationship between science and religion? Oversimplified boundaries! Join us as Lauren Horn Griffin describes reactions to Pope Benedict’s death on “Catholic Twitter,” — how traditionalists (#Trad or #RadTrad on social media) typically hate Pope Francis (as he symbolizes “wokeness” and “modernism”) while Benedict was seen as a symbol of traditional piety and social teaching. Kristi Boone tells us about the parallels between the Brazil insurrection and the invasion of the Capitol Building in Washington DC on Jan 6th, 2021. And your host, co-founder Chris Cotter, unpacks the data from a survey that suggests that different demographics have different ideas about the so-called problem of the relationship between science and religion. Articles Referenced “ The Old Pope Is Dead. “Gorgeous Georg” Is About to Come Out Swinging. “ “ Science and religion: does gender matter? “ “ The shared religious roots of twin insurrections in the U.S. and Brazil “…
