RNS Morning Report: How an atheist hoaxer got Christian nationalists to publish Karl Marx

RNS Morning Report


From our publisher: I’m thrilled to announce that NPR and RNS have formed a new editorial partnership to report on the impact of religion in our public and personal lives.
Under this collaboration, you'll hear RNS journalists like Adelle Banks, Jack Jenkins and Claire Giangrave on national NPR programs, explaining religion news of the day. And many local NPR stations will now be producing more religion stories, with the help of RNS journalists.
Because religious belief informs some of the most important issues facing Americans, it's critical to understand the diversity of faith and the ways in which religious belief helps strengthen communities. Questions about this partnership — or any of our coverage? Read more here, or reply to this email to share your thoughts.
