This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit wisdomofcrowds.liveIt's the summer doldrums, so this week, Wisdom of Crowds is taking a break from politics and war and Trump. Instead, we are talking about culture. Our guest, Paul Elie, is one of the leading culture and religion writers in the United States. His words have appeared in the New Yorker, the Atlantic, and the New York Times. Paul's latest book, The Last Supper: Art, Faith, Sex, and Controversy in the 1980s, tells the story of artists in the 1980s who grappled with religious ideas and stirred up controversy while doing so. U2, Madonna, Andy Warhol, Piss Christ, Sinead O'Connor and many more play a role in a masterful, novelistic retelling of that fateful decade in American cultural history.Damir Marusic is curious about Paul's concept of “crypto-religiosity,” which Paul uses to describe an abiding sensibility in 1980s art and culture. Is it actually a unique category? Aren't all Americans crypto-religious to a greater or lesser degree? Isn't that the legacy of Protestantism? Santiago Ramos pursues a different line of questioning. What might a healthier relationship between institutional religion and cryptically-religious artists look like?In our bonus section for paid subscribers, Damir and Paul compare the 1980s music scene with that of the 1990s; Damir explains why the 1990s felt “less devotional and more ecstatic”; Paul talks about his first time listening to “Smells like Teen Spirit”; Santiago and Paul discuss the coming culture of “ex-vangelicals”; Santiago confesses to not having his s**t together in his 20s; Damir asks: “How can you do good punk rock if Bill Clinton's the president?”; the three discuss why Trump hasn't yet generated a counterculture or artistic resistance; Santiago mentions Macklemore's Gaza song; Paul and Santiago discuss “radtrads,” and the coming rebellion against radtrads; Paul tells Damir why he should be religious; Paul explains why electoral politics is our modern day bread and circuses; and more!Required Reading:* Paul Elie, The Last Supper: Art, Faith, Sex, and Controversy in the 1980s (Amazon). * Paul Elie, The Life You Save May Be Your Own: An American Pilgrimage (Amazon).* Julia Yost, “The Scandal of Dogmatism” (Compact). * Damir Marusic, “The Pursuit of Passion for its Own Sake” (WoC). * Damir's discography from his punk rock days (Discogs).* Damir's music with his band, The Miss (Bandcamp).* CrowdSource, “Protest Music” (WoC).

It's often remarked that America has become less religious, especially during recent decades. But what if that religiosity hasn't disappeared, but just taken less visible forms? That's exactly what was happening in the arts in 1980s NYC, argues Paul Elie, author of The Last Supper: Art, Faith, Sex, and Controversy in the 1980s.  As Elie tells it, the era wasn't just marked by the ascendance of the moral majority and the authority of tradition—figures like Pope John Paul II and Ronald Reagan.  It also featured subtle engagement with spiritual themes by the likes of figures like Leonard Cohen, Andy Warhol, Madonna, Patti Smith, Bruce Springsteen, and Martin Scorcese, and provides a template for understanding where Catholicism stands today.  For further reading:  An excerpt from Paul Elie's new book Kaya Oakes on why religion must ask better questions Susan Bigelow Reynolds on millennial religious rejection

Simon Stjernholm's new book Sensing Islam: Engaging and Contesting the Senses in Muslim Religiosity (Bloomsbury Press, 2025) considers specific case studies of embodiment and oratory productions by Muslims in Denmark, Sweden, and Cyprus. In the chapter on approaching God, we learn how rituals such as du‘a (intercessory prayers) or dhikr (remembrance of God) informs sensorial experiences of the divine, particularly intimate ones, while the discussion on meditating on Muhammad considers the bodily aspects of Prophet Muhammad, such as his saliva, urine, and sweat that influence mawlid literatures and ritual performance of them within Sufi communities like the Naqshbandi-Haqqanis. Though rituals emerging from embodied understandings of holy figures are not without some tension, as we learn throughout the book but especially during the discussion on graves. Here the interred bodies of Sufi saints are caught up in debates around the permissibility of shrine visitation, a topic that comes up amongst lectures given by Swedish Muslim leaders. Overall, then, through analysis of Danish and Swedish podcast materials, ritual practices, such as devotion to the Prophet Muhammad and Sufi saints, we understand more about the sonic and pious dimensions of Islam and the Muslim authorial voices and listening that shapes them. This book will be of interest to those who work on sound studies, material culture, Sufism and Islam in Europe. Learn more about your ad choices.

This is a special audio interview for all listeners! As there was no Spotlight interview earlier this year, I have produced this 'extra' Spotlight for the month of May. I hope you enjoy it. :)David W. Kim (PhD: University of Sydney) is a Honorary Lecturer at the School of History and the Research School of Social Sciences (RSSS), Australian National University, a Mission Specialist at the ANU Institute for Space, and a Visiting Scholar, Harvard University, USA (2023-2024). He is a Board Member for UNESCO World Heritage Committee, Korea Government, an Associate Professor at Kookmin University, Seoul, and a NASA Judge for the Human Research Program (HRP), Johnson Space Center Huston, USA.Professor Kim, a Fellow of The Royal Historical Society (UK) and The Royal Asiatic Society of Great Britian and Ireland, has conducted a new study on the selection criteria for future Mars astronauts (2033) in conjunction with the Human Research Program (HRP), which remains an open question in the Mars exploration project as part of the Korea Research Foundation's long-term project (2022- 2025) in the field of integration of space science and humanities, as a result of a research visit to Harvard University and NASA Houston, human factors, astrobiology, astrophysics, life sciences, space politics, security, space exploration, and space well-being, and has been recognized as a pioneering study among scholars in the field. In this interview, Dr. Kim first discusses the phenomenon known as the ‘Overview Effect', a profound cognitive shift that astronauts experience when they see Earth from space. It's described as a state of wonderment and self-transformation that occurs upon witnessing the Earth as a fragile, interconnected whole. Many astronauts report feeling an overwhelming sense of unity, beauty, and a newfound appreciation for humanity and the environment. He then moves on to discuss his article, “Mars Space Exploration and Astronautical Religion in Human Research History: Psychological Countermeasures of Long-Term Astronauts” from 2022 in the journal Aerospace. He expands on the challenges and issues that arise when considering long-term space travel (of at least 3 years), such as radiation, zero-gravity, isolation, confinement, the distance from Earth, and emergencies that could arise, as well as the potential for an “astronautical religion” to help mitigate or prevent these challenges. PROGRAM NOTESDr. David W.

Giles Fraser meets columnist Giles Coren, who was raised in the Jewish tradition, became an atheist and who now feels at home in a Christian church, to explore what it means to be culturally religious.Is cultural religiosity an oxymoron and totally untenable? Is it on the rise or has it always been there? Is it damaging to traditional religious practices? And, does it really matter?To examine these questions, Giles is joined by: Michael Rosen, author and poet, known for his work exploring humanism and atheism. He has co-written a book, "What is Humanism? How do you live without a god? And Other Big Questions for Kids," which looks at how humanists approach fundamental questions about morals, ethics, and the origins of life. Kate Smurthwaite, patron of the Humanist society and feminist, atheist comedian and activist. Internationally, she is probably best-known as the star of a viral video in which she claims that she doesn't have a faith because she is not an idiot. Justin Brierley, writer, documentary maker and broadcaster behind the book and podcast series, 'The Surprising Rebirth of Belief in God'. Over the course of his work Justin looks at why new atheism grew old and why secular thinkers are considering Christianity again. Producers: Alexa Good & Linda WalkerEditor: Tim Pemberton

It is time to confront a tragic truth: the 21st-century church has a perception problem. Many view religion—and Christians particularly—as cruel, unforgiving, and even scandalous. So, where did the church go wrong? In this program, Chip talks about the alarming rise in counterfeit faith and examines how Jesus confronted the religious hypocrisy of His day. Hear how He exposed the duplicity between the Pharisees' outward piety and inward corruption and why we are to live lives of authenticity and integrity.Main Points I.

Dive in with Pastor Jared and Pastor DJ in what this means, what does this look like, and how we can take the parable of the lost sheep / lost coin / lost son as a motivator.

In this powerful Third Sunday of Lent homily, we explore how the deeply religious life of Jesus isn't just a historical detail—it's a model for how we are called to live and love today. Drawing connections between the faith practices of Jesus and the foundation of healthy marriages, Fr. Jonathan reflects on how prayer, sacrifice, celebration, and commitment are essential to both our relationship with God and with one another.

Pastor Jonathan continues our series through the book of Zechariah with the 7th chapter. From this passage we learn about the dangers of religiosity, self-righteousness, and having a hardened heart. We also discover how his grace has freed us from a need to do spiritual acts to earn his favor, and accordingly what it looks like to instead live for God out of a humble spirituality.

Cross Purposes: The Broken Connection Between Christianity and American Democracy Matt Robison explores the relationship between Christianity and American democracy with Brookings scholar and Atlantic author Jonathan Rauch. They discuss the themes of Rauch's new book, Cross Purposes, which argues that the health of America's political and religious institutions are deeply intertwined. The conversation delves into the decline of Christianity's influence, the rise of secular substitutes, and the problematic blend of religion with partisan politics. Rauch also highlights the potential model of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints as a way forward for American Christianity. 00:00 Introduction: Christianity and American Democracy 01:28 Christianity's Contributions to America 07:17 The Decline of Religiosity in America 14:50 Sharp Christianity and Its Political Influence 19:17 The Broken Bargain Between Christianity and Democracy 22:03 Why Christianity Matters in America 31:05 The Decline of American Christianity 37:22 The Church Within the Church 42:40 A Civic Theology 44:51 The LDS Church as a Model 47:48 Final Thoughts and Reflections

When it comes to talking about abuse and violence against women, “You have to become comfortable with being uncomfortable,” explains Susan Madsen. In Episode 207, Dr. Madsen joins Susan and Cynthia for a conversation about the link between religiosity and abuse, and the power disparity that fosters it. Even where the Church is strongest, the statistics are troubling, to say the least. How might our church and its members move from lip service to leading "the army to protect home, family, and children?” 

If the New York Times celebrates your Christianity, then be afraid. Be very afraid. I must admit that being a professing Christian is not an easy thing, particularly today. I hate religious ‘posturing' - especially in myself. The scripture is clear: Facts and action are clearly what define true religion. The Pharisee and tax collector, one a false ‘religious' leader, the other a genuinely broken, penitent man, is one of Christ's more poignant teachings on this. The Good Samaritan another. How real is your, or my faith? So it is with sadness and carefulness that I must insist mentioning the actual actions: the facts and policies of the late President, James Earl Carter. The recent media swoon and adulation compel me. They swoon precisely because of his policies. They adulate for his leftist, neo-marxist legacy, carefully clothed in wool. While giving us the smiling face of a Southern Baptist Sunday School teacher, Jimmy Carter implemented some of the most family-destructive cultural policies our nation has now come to suffer. The first Presidential Conference on Families sounded truly wonderful and nearly conservative, except for the fact that it was here, quietly, that the federal government first declared homosexual couples to be ‘families.' The Christian sacrament of matrimony was directly assaulted with a toothy Baptist grin. The real legacy of any President is the Courts they leave behind. Those justices will serve for life. You should know that every judge Jimmy Carter appointed was first vetted by the most radical abortion attorney in the nation, and her subsequent leftist panel on the judiciary. Carter appointed a total of 262 federal judges during his four years in the White House, more than any single-term president in U.S. history. And despite never getting to appoint a Supreme Court nominee, Carter's judicial appointments were history-making in their own right. That's because he appointed a record number of minority and female jurists during his presidency, 57 minority judges and 41 female. BUT IT WAS NOT their color or plumbing that made them eligible candidates in the Carter world, it was their unabashed commitment to leftist ideology. Strangely, the media at the time never examined the issue of ‘Judicial Temperment'. But that is precisely why Jimmy's judges were appointed. They had the temperment the press desired. When Ronald Reagan made appointments THEN the actual thinking and policies really mattered to the media, regardless of a candidates' gender or color, Reagan's appointments were excoriated. Legal knowledge and “judicial appointment help” for Carter came from Sarah Weddington, the Texas attorney who, at 26, had successfully argued Roe v. Wade before the Supreme Court. She had joined the Carter administration as an aide for women's issues and leaked (the even then, notorious) Ruth Bader Ginsburg's name as an Appellate Court pick to the press. She hoped by making it public, then Carter wouldn't be able to backtrack. As soon as Weddington leaked it, though, she went to the Oval Office and told the president what she'd done. He “didn't mind,” she later told the Washington Post. Yes, Jimmy Carter truly and faithfully served the leftist media-zeitgeist. For this his memory is now acclaimed. We too must remember. Mr. Carter in many ways served as a precursor to the ‘bumbling' leftist assault we saw in the recent Biden Administration. He was an easily manipulated figurehead who allowed far-left staffers to simply have their way through him. One recognizable difference was that Mr. Carter freely accepted and then implemented the radical policies into which he was hornswoggled and manipulated. Biden? We really don't know how much Biden actually understood; he was officially found mentally unfit to stand trial by his own Department of Justice. Jimmy Carter consciously and intentionally implemented policies designed to destroy the family and respect for innocent human life. You don't learn that in Sunday School.

Being religious and being spiritual is not necessarily the same thing. Religiosity often proves to be a hindrance to a genuine believer. In true Christian spirituality, the Holy Spirit must come into your life, to guide your thoughts and actions. Tune in to the Bible Study Hour as Dr. James Boice teaches us that only the Holy Spirit brings about a firm and true faith.
