According to the PRRI Census of American Religion, young women (18-29) have shed religious labels steadily since 2013, when 29% identified as religiously unaffiliated. By 2024, that figure grew to 40%, and in 2025, it increased to 43%. www.nytimes.com/2026/09/16/o...

The Passion of Jesus returned to Trafalgar Square on Good Friday - an epic retelling of Christ’s journey to the cross with a cast of more than 100 actors and volunteers. Londoners and visitors gathered in the heart of the city to witness this powerful reenactment for Holy Week.

Niche academic complaint, but universities' lunatic "ethical approval processes" for interviews are killing whole areas of academic research. No, you can't "anonymise" what a politician said "on the record": it matters who said it. No, they will not sign 50 consent forms. This is not "high risk"...

Forgot to mention this yesterday: among the signers of this letter (which organizers say has now grown beyond 2,000) is the president of Fuller Seminary. Many other deans/academics/presidents listed hail from liberal mainline traditions, but Fuller is a well-known evangelical Christian seminary.
