This is an archived government report that found that “Since 1990, far-right extremists have committed far more ideologically motivated homicides than far-left or radical Islamist extremists.”

It existed yesterday and is gone today.

Do you believe in ancient mythology? Do you spend time with others that believe in ancient mythology?

Congratulations, you have acquired a get-out-of-jail-free card!

If you talk about your rape of children with a fellow believer of fairytales, our government will back you up!
A pastor confessed to abusing a child during a recorded conversation with a fellow pastor.

An Arizona court says that recording is inadmissible—because it's a “religious confession.”

This isn’t justice. It’s legal protection for predators.

Really great read. I've been puzzled trying to understand how those who proudly declare themselves "patriots" so eagerly cheer on actions antithetical to what they claim to stand for.

Also easy to see the same mechanisms at play in authoritarian religions.

You can dismiss literally everything somebody says if they believe there's a white genocide in South Africa but not a genocide in Gaza. They're decrepit, immoral lying scumbags who know they're lying and don't care.

Trump’s new “religious liberty” commission, led by Dr. Phil, is a sham.

It’s not about liberty — it’s about Christian nationalism and dismantling church-state separation.

This is getting fewer headlines than it should. After coming to power promising to help working people, the president is revealing his real priorities by actively making it easier for banks to rip people off.

If priests learn about child abuse during the act of Confession, should they have to report it?

Washington State just said yes.

The Catholic Church… not so much.
