So much for ‘Modest is Hottest’

Fun week! On Saved By the City Roxy and Katelyn catch up with a few hot items in evangelical circles, in particular with that USA Bible everyone is talking about, and the new Conservative Dad's Real Women of America 2024 Calendar. It’s not an episode to miss.

Turning from HAWT to GAWD, The State of Belief welcomes Royal G. Cravens III, who comes on to talk about his recently published “Yes Gawd: How Faith Shapes LGBT Identity and Politics in the United States.” It's no accident that pseudoscience has become a potent anti-LGBTQ weapon. Cravens has been working to document how the political and religious opponents of LGBTQ rights work to legitimize myths and fears to manipulate public opinion.

Roxy and Katelyn are joined by Micha Boyett to talk limits. Plus, a little side dishing on raunchy Christians and a certain Bible being hawked by a certain former president.

State of Belief host Rev. Paul Brandeis Raushenbush talks Dr. Royal G. Cravens III, Senior Research Analyst at the Southern Poverty Law Center. RG has recently published the book Yes Gawd: How Faith Shapes LGBT Identity and Politics in the United States.
