TBS CROSS DIG with Bloomberg【「宗教」で読み解くアメリカ】「福音派」著者・加藤喜之／トランプ政権と宗教の距離感／イラン攻撃を“神の名”で正当化／ピーター・ティールの“ワンピース論”の本質【BACKSTAGE AMERICA】ニュースでは見えないアメリカの“B面”（ウラ側）の思想を
深掘りする番組「BACKSTAGE AMERICA」。
今回のテーマは「宗教」です。
米軍パイロットの救出劇を「イエスの復活」に重ね合わせたヘグセス米国防長官、ピーター・ティールが語った『ワンピース』のルフィ＝“キリスト説”。そして、イラン攻撃をめぐり対立の様相を呈しているトランプ大統領とローマ教皇。
政教分離の国であるはずのアメリカで、なぜここまで政治と宗教が密接に絡み合っているのか。
アメリカを理解する上で避けて通れない「宗教」について、
思想史・宗教学が専門の立教大学文学部・加藤喜之教授と、
TBS CROSSDIGの竹下隆一郎が、
宗教の歴史や、アメリカで暮らしたリアルな実体験を交えながら紐解きます。
テーマの理解を深める「杖（つえ）」として、
おすすめの書籍や映画も紹介しています。
ご感想や今後取り上げてほしいテーマなどもコメント欄にお寄せください！

How has the drag subculture, originally intended as a frivolous and self-consciously artificial deconstruction of masculinity, paradoxically become one of progressivism's most potent symbols of earnest and authentic self-expression? Darel Paul, professor of political science at Williams College, joins the podcast to discuss his recent First Things essay "Drag Queens".

Zealots at the GateThe Case for Political CombatOur most "combative" episode yet. Progressive secularism is on a winning streak. It has scored a number of significant political victories over those who hold traditional Christian and Muslim understandings of the moral life. How should people of faith respond? Our guest worries that we might be playing a little too nice. James R. Wood is one of the most exciting and controversial Christian thinkers writing today. A theologian, professor, and ordained minister, Wood argues that people of faith need to actively contest, dispute, and sometimes even mock the political ideas of their secular opponents.

The General EclecticPilgrimage Through the Meaning-Desert We open with this podcast with a discussion about good books, and why we read what we read, and in particular, how fiction can draw you in, grab you, and give experience. Reading fiction is no mere escapist cope, but rather an invitation into other worlds and broadened horizons, a kind of pilgrimage of the imagination. In the second half, Rod pivots to talk about the rise of DMT and other hallucinogens, and the coming mainstreaming of these kinds of "religious hacks." Are they "real," or are they mere phantoms of the mind. These questions move us into a discussion abou...

The Aaron Renn ShowWho Are the Evangelical Elite? And Are They Failing?There's been a recent flurry of articles and podcasts discussing the failure of evangelical elites, whether they have in fact failed, wondering who these so-called elites are, disclaiming that people are elites, etc. This week I look at the question of who the evangelical elite are, and whether or not they are doing a good job. I start by reprising the elite theory of E. Digby Baltzell, and also the views of others elite theorists like James Burnham, Robert Michels, C. Wright Mills, and Robert Dahl. From this I create a definition of what an e...

The Future is HumanWho Should Receive the Eucharist? w/Fr. Jim BaronToday on Creedal, Fr. Jim Baron joins me to talk about Eucharistic Coherence. What is Eucharistic Coherence? Why does it matter? And how does it differ from simply Eucharistic discipline? Who is eligible to receive Communion? Is it legalistic to bar people from receiving? How can parishes cultivate a right attitude toward the Eucharist? How does liturgy affect our beliefs and practices?
Fr. Jim Baron is my parish priest at Holy Apostles Catholic Church in Colorado Springs, CO. You can read his article on Eucharistic Coherence at https://www.firstthings.com/web-exclusives/2021/06/spiritual-fatherhood-and-eucharistic-coherence.

What We Can't Not Talk AboutNo, We Can't Not Talk About Pornography, with Dr. Jimmy Myers**This episode contains mature content**
If there is one thing we absolutely must talk about, that is pornography. We have to talk about it because it affects our children, our friends, our spouses. If you are young, and if you are using it, it will inevitably affect your sexual life (let alone the romantic one). If you are a parent, you need to listen to Dr. Jimmy Myers, Founder and CEO of the Timothy Center, whose experience treating sexual addictions will be an eye-opener for many. Listen, and *do* talk about this!

2021-02-1020 minThe Aaron Renn ShowThe Social Origins of American ConservatismThe American conservative movement was founded by people who were largely socially outside the White Anglo-Saxon Protestant (WASP) establishment of America at the time. William F. Buckely's book God and Man and Yale and the reaction to it cannot be understood without looking at this social dimension. He was an Irish Catholic criticizing the citadel of the Protestant Establishment that had graciously allowed him in the door. At the same time, the conservative movement was also unrepresentative of its current voting base of Evangelicals.The Christian side of conservative intellectualism has always been heavily Catholic dominated, from W...

Life, Liberty, and LawDr. Chad Pecknold and Josh Craddock on the Lincoln Proposal and correcting Roe's first and foundational errorSince 1973, more than 60 million American children have been killed by the violence of abortion. The horror of approximately 2,000 daily killings stems from the United States Supreme Court’s constitutional errors in Roe v. Wade. The Court made two fundamental errors in Roe: first, in its refusal to read the Fourteenth Amendment’s guarantees of equal protection and due process to extend to preborn persons; and second, in its erroneous conclusion that “the right to privacy extends to abortion.”
Fortunately, as scholars ranging from Professor Robert P. George to Professor Mark Tushnet have observed, the judiciary is not the sole...

Mystery of Parenthood057 Sacramental RealismOn Tuesday, July 17, 2018, hosts Trey Cashion considered an article from First Things, "Sacramental Realism." Trey took apart the essay and presented its conclusions about the visible vs. the invisible world and a false bifurcation between the two. These confusions present themselves in misappreciations of the sacraments and their efficacy as well as confusions about identity, sexuality, and morality present in the larger society.

But instead of taking a fatalistic attitude and a detour, or worse, just accepting it, she got in touch with a city councilman and within days, the pornographic image was gone. We discuss her story and the lessons she learned about how we can still accomplish positive change in our communities, and the importance of teaching children the true meaning of their bodies.
