As if we needed more proof that Christians are the only group left in America that it’s safe to make fun of. A popular YouTube video purports to be an ad for a Wii-like game system called “ Mass: We Pray, ” which will be available at Easter 2010. In reality, the anti-religious video is a commercial for a new video game. In it, viewers see a family at home a s a saccharine-voiced...

Some thirty years ago, evangelical Christianity threw itself heavily into the business of marketing itself with a series of hip slogans such as "I Found It" (a stranger is supposed to ask what this means, thereby opening an opportunity to share the Gospel). Along the same lines, there was the Good News Bible with a newspaper-theme cover. More recently there has been the WWJD campaign. Dozens...

I don`t like the determination of secularists to see that all outward signs of religion are removed from public life: Christians are citizens too and also have rights. However I do struggle with the recent furore in Italy over the order to remove the crucifix from the classrooms in state schools. After all these are state schools. No-one is saying (yet) that they must be removed in Catholic schools....

We identify the marginal effect of religious identity on economic choices by measuring how laboratory subjects’ choices change when their religious identity is made salient to them. We find that Protestantism increases contributions to public goods, and there is suggestive evidence that it increases reciprocity in a labor market gift-exchange game. Catholicism decreases contributions to public...

Andrew Carey writes in the Church of England Newspaper: The Church of England is giving up no sacred principle by offering the most generous provision to traditionalist Anglicans, so why is it so reluctant to do so?

I can't believe anyone would actually buy these things. About 3 foot high, and am told (by an unreliable witness) about £300. I'd love to know why Catholicism let's itself be associated with this sort of tat; religion of the common people? Probably my favourite shop in Staines; sells these, 4 foot dragons, Middle Earth chess sets, and a range of ways to customise your mobile phone.

It's been observed that the gap between the Anglican Church and Catholicism is not wide but deep. The Archbishop of Canterbury's speech at the Gregorian Pontifical University uncovered the real depth of the divide. The Archbishop defended women's ordination and argued that more unites the two churches than divides them. He said issuess that are not of the 'first order' should not be points of division...
