Four Things You Need To Know About Project 2025

Last updated on: September 29, 2024 at 10:25 am By Daniel Henderson

The Democratic National Convention spent a good deal of time exposing and excoriating Trump’s plan for a second term, “Project 2025.” By now, I suspect that any observant person who listens to a broad range of news sources and subscribes to this newsletter (thank you very much) knows a lot about Project 2025. If you want a good primer on Project 2025, I recommend this report and review from the Global Project Against Hate and Extremism. It is a well-organized description and... Read more

Buckets of Reasons People Are Leaving Christianity

Last updated on: April 4, 2024 at 3:11 pm By Daniel Henderson

In my last column, I wrote that we (the United States) are becoming less religious. It prompted a good deal of discussion and most of it was civil. That is one of the goals I have for this column: civil discussion about important issues. I’m following up that article with this one which will address the question of “Why.” Why are people leaving their religious faith and traditions behind? It is less researched than the phenomenon of de-churching, which is... Read more

Have You Bought Your Christian Nationalist Bible Yet?

Last updated on: March 31, 2024 at 1:28 pm By Daniel Henderson

“Elmer Gantry never knew who sent him thirty dimes, wrapped in a tract about holiness, nor why. But he found the sentiments in the tract useful in his sermon, and the thirty dimes he spent for lovely photographs of burlesque ladies.” ― Sinclair Lewis, Elmer Gantry Have you purchased your “God Bless the U.S.A. Bible” yet? Donald Trump wants you to know that: “All Americans need a Bible in their home, and I have many.... Read more

Do I Still Believe In God? The Journey Is The Destination!

Last updated on: February 9, 2024 at 2:46 pm By Daniel Henderson

The first question I got when declaring “I am no longer a Christian” is the predictable question “Well, do you still believe in God?” This of course came up in the wake of my last two articles, “I am No Longer a Christian” and “Not a Christian Pt. II”. After I explained in those posts why a set of theological beliefs is not important or necessary for me to pursue spirituality and to leave religion behind, people seem to still... Read more

No Longer a Christian…Here’s Why…

Last updated on: January 26, 2024 at 2:58 pm By Daniel Henderson

My daughter sent me this article from NPR: “Religious ‘Nones’ are now the largest single group in the U.S.” As of 2024, the Nones make up 28% of the American population. I have identified as a None for a long time now. I am generally averse to labels, but the word “none” is probably the least offensive or stereotypical label I could adopt. This article has motivated me to make a public declaration that I no longer consider myself to be... Read more

Christian Nationalism is Idolatry

Last updated on: January 12, 2024 at 3:51 pm By Daniel Henderson

Matthew Doud is getting vocal and loud about the threat of White Christian Nationalism these days. I heard him just the other night on Joy Reid’s show and he said the following: “The thing that’s happened with the Republican Party is there is no division between the people that are pushing religion and the people that are pushing politics. For the Republican Party, it has become one. And it’s this White Christian nationalism that has completely occupied the Republican... Read more

Why Conservative & Progressive Don’t Belong With Christian

Last updated on: December 12, 2023 at 8:44 am By Daniel Henderson

Conservative & Progressive Christians Don’t Exist Once a person defines themself as a “Conservative Christian” or a “Progressive Christian” you know something is awry in their priorities. It is a deceptive use of language which mostly fools the person using the label. There is no such thing as a conservative Christian or a progressive one. The phrase defies the meaning of what being a Christian is. I can be a Christian who happens to be a conservative politically or I... Read more

Spiritual Warfare in Congress?

Last updated on: December 2, 2023 at 10:52 am By Daniel Henderson

It shouldn’t be this hard. Funding the government is a fundamental operation of the House of Representatives. Yet, here we are after the Republicans finally chose a Speaker, and with a slim majority of seats, they still are not able to pass a funding bill on anything. Not even the routine defense funding bill. That one is usually a slam dunk because it has large bipartisan support. It has passed every year since 1961 in a bipartisan fashion without much...
