Although it is commonly said that Judaism is not quite the same thing as Jewishness, supporting either one while rejecting the other entails a paradox that comes close to racism —and these are precisely the arguments that Jaclyn Glenn attempts to make, defending the continuation of the religion "as an identity" that is supposedly rooted in D.N.A. while remaining nominally atheist, and yet demonstr...

The problem is not so much that Milton Friedman is wrong about everything, but, instead, the extent to which people presume that being right about any particular factoid (in the overlapping fields of politics and economics) means that you "must be" correct about anything (or everything) else.

Episode thirteen (AR+IO-013). Let us be blunt: if Quebec has the right to establish its independence by a referendum, then the Crimea does, too —along with the Donbas (Donetsk and Luhansk) and Taiwan and everyone else, everywhere else. If not, we're back to the phony sovereignty (and even phonier empire-building) of the Napoleonic wars. How, after all, was Poland supposed to establish its inde...

The excuses she makes for the acceptance of religion are far more important than the reasons she's given for its rejection. Within just the last few months, Alyssa Grefell has seemingly stumbled into her role as "the face of atheism", but, already, mistakes she is making (in that accidental leadership role) illustrate why (and how) this still incipient political movement is stumbling as a whole. T...

J.D. Vance is one of the most important examples of an "ex-atheist", and he didn't merely revert to Christianity, but converted (for the first time) to Catholicism, for avowedly intellectual reasons that you'll find specified and cross examined here.
