Why the Supreme Court is listening to religious lawsuits, prayers at school Why school coaches’ prayers on the soccer field arrived at the Supreme Court and what it means for the future of religious freedom. Once the stern and pious stronghold of Puritanism, Massachusetts has now become something quite different: a flagship of secular modernity. According to a recent Pew Research Center study, published in February 2025, the number of Massachusetts adults identifying with organized religion has dropped precipitously—from 81% in 2007 to just 63% in 2023-24. The sharpest decline has come within Christianity itself, falling from 74% to 52%…

The 2020 Russian-Ukraine War brought the export of gas from Russia to the European Union to the halt of screeching. Natural gas, exported from Russia to European countries since 1991, has passed the Ukrainian pipeline. However, when the war broke out, President Voldimir Zelensky He claimed his country “Russia will not allow billions more people with our blood,” bans Russia from using the pipeline. This means a European crisis as Russian gas accounts for 40% of EU imports in 2021. It was dropped 8% in 2023. As a result, Europe is forced to see elsewhere, and their focus appears to…

But it is not America’s job to save the old continent The most beautiful place in the world is located smack dab in the heart of northern Europe. It is a small town called Östersund. It stretches along the eastern shore of Storsjön, the “Great Lake”. Across the strait from Östersund is the island of Frösön. From the farmlands in its center, you can see 30 churches, dense forests, crop fields, and on the far side of the Great Lake a horizon filled with snow-clad mountains. There is a church there, on the Frösön, where the world’s happiest marriages begin:…

Bangladesh blamed Washington’s Intelligence Director, Tulsi Gabbard, who said her comments on religious violence in the South Asian country were unfounded and risked inciting sectarian tensions. This week, Gabbard arrived for a diplomatic trip to India. Diplomatic trips with India have worsened relations with Bangladesh since a student-led uprising overthrew the latter government last year. New Delhi repeatedly accused Bangladesh of not properly protecting minority Hindu citizens. However, Gabbard appeared to be giving credit to his claims when asked about violence in Bangladesh in an interview with Indian broadcaster NDTV on Monday. “Long years of unfortunate persecution, murder and abuse…

By Abdul Masih – In the very same city where he once roamed the streets barefoot, shirtless and out of his mind because of drug use, Mark Lara now pastors a church. “I used to be on the streets, demon-possessed, without shoes, out of my mind,” Mark says. “But Jesus Christ came into my heart and set me free.

Imagine a hyperventilating article about the current climate debate that is long on opponent bashing and short on context. Such is the latest article found in Earthbeat, the environmental publication by the National Catholic Reporter where faith groups are said to “blast evil EPA rollback plans”, and these same select faith groups push back on a comment from the Trump administration decrying Trump’s idealogically-driven opponents as part of a ‘climate change religion’.But clearly, truth and real religious compassion become the first casualty in Earthbeat’s post. Indeed, EPA deregulation was one of the key motivators for voters who handed a sweeping…

By Abdul Masih – It’s King Charles of Britain vs. Crown Prince of Iran Reza Pahlavi with diametrically opposed visions of Islam. On the one hand, King Charles, through symbolic actions and speeches tries to appease and calm the rancorous Muslims in his kingdom, wishes for a rebrand of Islam, calling it the Religion of Peace. On the other, Reza Pahlavi, addressing from exile the oppressed people of Iran on Nowruz (Persian New Year), describes the reality of Islam in Iran, of terrorism, of hostage-taking, of international instability. “Imagine a western world free from hostage taking and Western troops and…
