The way most people think about religion and politics is only loosely linked to empirical reality, argues Ryan P. Burge in 20 Myths about Religion and Politics in America. Instead, our thinking is based on anecdotes, a quick scan of news headlines, or worse, flat-out lies told by voices trying to push a religious or political agenda on a distracted public. Burge sees this fundamentally flawed understanding of the world around us and our misperceptions...

Glaude argues that the phrase "African American religion" is meaningful only insofar as it singles out the distinctive ways religion has been leveraged by African Americans to respond to different racial regimes in the United States. That bold claim frames how he reads the historical record. Slavery, Jim Crow, and current...

"David Baddiel would love there to be a God. He has spent a lot of time fantasising about how much better life would be if there actually was such a thing as a Superhero Dad who chased off Death. Unfortunately for him, there isn’t. Or at least, that is Baddiel’s view in this book, which argues that it is indeed the very intensity of his, and everyone else’s, desire for God to exist that proves His non-existence. Anything so deeply wished-for...

"In this book, the author has written a history of not only the National Cathedral but also the idea that animates it, arguing that it is a touchstone site for the American civil religion - the idea that the American nation functions much like a religion, with its own rituals, sacred texts, holy days, and so on. Moreover, he shows, it is the National Cathedral that most embodies the various tug-of-wars that have quietly defined the American civil...

"But where does your meditation go when things go bad?" asks Andrew Holecek. "Where is your spirituality when 'rock meets bone' as they say in Tibet - when the crap hits the fan?"
