"Mayor Kasim Reed’s decision to dismiss his fire chief last week for giving co-workers copies of a Christian self-help book condemning homosexuality is fanning new kinds of legal and political flames in this city, where deeply held religious convictions exist in a kind of defining tension with a reputation for New South tolerance."
A group of atheists in Rochester, N.Y., has bad news for the Good News Club, a Christian after-school club for children.
"The group, consisting of atheists, humanists and skeptics, announced its own after-school program: a Young Skeptics club featuring science, logic and learning activities."
Pope Francis named 15 new cardinals Sunday, selecting them from 14 nations, including far-flung corners of the world such as Tonga, New Zealand, Cape Verde and Myanmar, to reflect the diversity of the church and its growth in places like Asia and Africa.
More than nine-in-ten members of the newly elected 114th Congress are Christian -- a significantly higher share than is seen in the general population.
Most importantly, the most underrepresented segment of American society are those who don't affiliate themselves with any religion. They are only .2% of congress but 20% of the greater population.
“What we’re doing is praying with our feet, with our bodies.”
Aztec dance instructor Centzi Millia wears chachayotl, the thick anklets of Aztec danzantes made of rattling seed pods during a class. She’s part of a new movement of Catholic Latinos in the U.S. who are turning to the spiritual practices of their indigenous ancestors, such as the Aztecs and other ancient traditions, and finding “a mestizo way of life.”
Read more of Shweta Saraswat’s article, “Aztlan, Anew,” which gives you a glimpse of what’s going on in your neighboring communities that you might not even be aware of.
Nirvana.
Poignant, heartfelt, insightful and sincere thoughts, and perspectives from Afghan youths.
"The possible questions are endless, but all that is typically asked is "Do you believe in God?" as if one person's "yes" is pretty much the same as everyone else's. This makes a mockery of the complexity and diversity of individual spiritual lives." A big thank you to Philip Goldberg for writing this post. However, I would have gone a step further, and asked why we might be hesitant to ask the more detailed, possibly intrusive questions.
"The Pew Forum on Religious and Public life conducted 25,000 face-to-face interviews in 19 African nations and found that among them, Tanzanians hold the strongest belief in witchcraft."
"Elephants in Crisis." Watch a short National Geographic video on the connection between religions and ivory.

"While some non-Sikhs wear turbans as cultural garb, Sikhs are the only community for whom the turban is religious and nearly every person who wears the turban in the U.S. is Sikh. For many of us, abandoning this visible identity is equivalent to abandoning our faith and core values, including the commitment to protect the right of all people to practice whatever faith they choose."
"Whatever our faith tradition, we all should take the dangers of interfaith misunderstanding seriously because all of us -- Christians, Muslims, Hindus, Buddhists, Jews, agnostics, everyone -- are affected."
Prayer room at the Democratic National Convention.
"But as a Humanist atheist, I feel a sense of moral obligation to stand up against identity-based hatred, no matter whom it’s directed at."
"Why at this particular moment is the mainstream media so interested in the story of strife within an ultra-orthodox branch that makes up a tiny, if growing, percentage of American Jews? The answer has a lot to do with the life span of the Internet. Because of it, more Hasidim are publicly exiting their communities than ever before."
Love thy neighbor, and love the world.
