In 2011, Dr. Marlene Winell coined the term 'Religious Trauma Syndrome' (RTS) to give a name to the unique trauma that many face from their experiences with religion.

First, populism, where (authoritarian) leaders claim to represent the people and their interests and, yet, introduce anti-pluralistic and anti-liberal measures. Second, digital technology, which is becoming all too pervasive in our lives and has significant...2020-07-2251 minRational RealmRational RealmDemocracy in Our Time: Useful Idea or Not? – Part 1While democracy has widespread appeal, many consider it to be under threat.

This will be followed with consideration of where democracy is today with special attention to American politics in the age of Trumpism.2020-06-1657 min
