In this new essay over @TheAtlantic I argue that it's time to retire the label "Christian nationalist" as a term of political combat: theatlantic.com/books/2026/03/…

"Would you say you have been "born again" or have had a "born again" experience -- that is, a turning point in your life when you committed yourself to Christ?" In 1988, 37% of Americans indicated that they had a born-again experience at one point. In 2024, it was 38%.

Jane Austen used 'however' at the beginning of a sentence, and so can you.

In 1972, just 20% of all Christians in the United States were evangelicals. Now, it's 35%. During that same time period, the share of Christians who were mainline Protestants dropped in half. From 33% to 17%. Today there are 2 evangelicals for every 1 mainline Protestant

Un amén que resuena entre el pueblo de Dios. El sonido de muchas voces cantando una alabanza. La alegría colectiva tras un bautismo. Estos aspectos de la iglesia presencial simplemente no se pueden replicar en línea. Lee el llamado de @EricaBryand. es.christianitytoday.com/2025/08/iglesi…

Here's a map of a whole bunch of megachurches throughout the United States. In a new paid post today, I do some initial analysis of denominational breakdown, state by state analysis and explore the relationship between population size and number of megachurches.

@John_Attridge “Hope this helps” is my fave part of this post

Classic literature is difficult because the knowledge it contains is powerful and dangerous and should only be accessible to an elite clerical class. Hope this helps

We need to figure out why the Democrats failed, so we talked to Matt Yglesias, Rahm Emanuel, and Ezra Klein.

Democrats had a populist candidate, Bernie Sanders, in 2016 and 2020. The party elite and donors decided they were going to try to continue milking the cash cow of corporate oligarchy. So they scuttled his candidacy, and turned their back on the agenda that made him popular.
