S6, Ep. 01: The Supreme Court is back … and so are we

To kick off season 6 of Respecting Religion, Amanda Tyler and Holly Hollman take stock of the Supreme Court. There is no religion case on the docket – yet – for this term, but there are several cases that do impact religion. They review the most important things we saw out of last year’s term – from the “Trump docket” to the abortion cases – and they talk about how the Rahimi decision about a gun regulation illustrates the trouble with the Court’s new “history and tradition” test. Plus, this is the last episode before the release of Amanda’s book “How to End Christian Nationalism,” and they preview the upcoming book tour and how you can participate.

A conversation with Shurden Lecturer Dr. John Compton

Dr. John Compton will talk about the politics of secularization during the 20th annual Walter B. and Kay W. Shurden Lectures on Religious Liberty and Separation of Church and State, held on the campuses of Mercer University in Macon and Atlanta, Georgia, this November.

Difference does not mean division

Efforts to ban books see differences — such as religious differences — as a threat instead of understanding the benefits of lifting and listening to diverse voices and experiences.

With reports of voters being removed from rolls and efforts to create confusion in order to suppress the vote in some communities, it’s a good idea to ensure you’re prepared to vote.
