What is the “religious right?” All of a sudden western media is paying attention to this powerful, but oft-neglected group – with which, incidentally, I identify myself. Despite the increased coverage, little has been done to carefully define this term. Hence, most non-religious right people have certain stereotypes in their minds when they hear that term. Given the worldview of powerful people in most media outlets and the poor education in philosophy, theology and history Americans receive these days, that stereotype appears to me unflattering.

Mere Orthodoxy is (for me) a counterpoint to social media, a place of depth and critical thought.
