A far-right MP who has been arrested for vandalising a temporary exhibition in the National Gallery in Athens said he did it because the artworks insulted the #Christian #religion.
Das jüdisch-muslimische Tandem möchte Schülerinnen und Schüler dazu befähigen, die Mechanismen abwertender Ausgrenzung zu erkennen und ihr eigenes Verhalten kritisch zu hinterfragen. Der 84-jährige Rabbiner Gábor Lengyel betont eindringlich, dass eine Demokratie davon lebt, kulturelle Vielfalt und religiöse Unterschiede auszuhalten.

To all those warning of a coup in the US, it’s too late! What needs to be discussed is how to take back our government. And I don’t mean going back to the status quo of the pre trump era of politics. That is what got us here.
Just a few ideas to start the discussion.
1. Reign in the oligarchy.
2. Implement and enforce anti monopoly policies. Block the merger and acquisitions that lead to consolidation of industries.
3. Revise the tax code. End corporate loopholes, investor class loopholes and special interest groups loopholes including religious organizations.
4. Institute data privacy protections
5. Change the way the judicial branch operates. End life time appointments and change how judges are appointed.
6. Change the licensing process for media companies including so called social media.
7. Confront the distortions in society have created a permanent segregated society for large sections of society.
8. Confront the epidemic of poverty and homelessness nationwide.
9. Institutes a universal healthcare system. Take health care out of the hands of employers.
10. Institute a policy of research and development on a national scale. The US will not be able to compete, let alone win global competition with a population of ignorant religious fanatics. Expertise is what we should strive for.
Why, you may ask, is America so fucked up? Simple. The “southern strategy” employed by Nixon worked. It worked beyond their wildest dreams. Three simple steps:
1. Christian fundamentalism ( Christo-fascism)
2. Segregation. Jim Crow, Apartheid - call it what you will. Maybe just racism.
3. States rights. Basically the ability of states to enforce #1 and #2. And keep the feds out.
Gerrymandering has been a key factor for their success. Stacking the courts and electing incompetent morons who can be easily manipulated is a contributing factor too. But the most important thing is money. Lots and lots of money. Hire lawyers Fund think tanks. Flood every news zone. Buy social media. Control the news cycle 24 hours a day. Instill hatred, fear and insecurity. And lie. Lie about everything!
Worked like a charm.

The answer appears to be yes. People have stopped leaving churches en masse, per a new study released by Pew Research. #America’s secularization is on pause for now, likely because of the pandemic & the country’s sustained spirituality. Most Americans — 92% of adults — say they hold one or more spiritual beliefs that Pew asked about:
[I don’t 
according to their questionnaire. That tracks.]

As #religion in #America declined, experts administered last rites.
Churches were approaching “their twilight hour” as attendance fell, The Brookings Inst wrote in 2011. In his 2023 book, “Losing Our Religion,” the evangelical preacher Russell Moore asked: “Can American #Christianity survive?”
