Ryan Cragun: Goodbye Religion - The Causes and Consequences of Secularization | FFRF Convention 2024
In his talk, "Goodbye Religion: The Causes and Consequences of Secularization," Ryan Cragun breaks down why more people are leaving religion and its impact on society. He challenges common myths, like the idea that nonreligious people are less happy or less moral, and uses data to show that religious and non-religious people aren't all that different when it comes to things like happiness or family values. Cragun argues that the decline of religion doesn’t lead to societal decay as often feared, and instead, he encourages a focus on evidence-based understanding.
Ryan Cragun, a professor of sociology at the University of Tampa, focuses on both Mormonism and nonreligion. He’s the author or co-author of many books, including “Beyond Doubt: The Secularization of Society,” “What You Don’t Know About Religion (but Should),” “Christianity and the Limits of Minority Acceptance,” “How to Defeat Religion in 10 Easy Steps” and “From One Missionary to Another.”

SWAJ Rewind: Hitler, Trump, and Fascism (Bradley Onishi and Daniel Miller; Straight White American Jesus podcast)
Brad gives a preview of his new book by discussing how some of Trump’s tactics and myths are comparable to what Hitler used to gain power in Germany. Brad is careful to point out that his comparison is just that – a comparison. He is not arguing that Trump and Hitler are identical.
Rather, his argument is that Trump’s Big Lie and the myth that the FBI search of Mar-a-Lago was unconstitutional and illegal are resonant with the Stab-in-the-Back myths Hitler used in Germany to convince his followers that their country had been stolen from them and only he could return it to glory.

Opinion | Three and a Half Myths About the Bank Bailouts - The New York Times
Let's start with the silly stuff. On the right side of the political spectrum, many have quickly rallied around the claim that S.V.B. failed because it was excessively woke — which is only marginally less ludicrous than claiming that wokeness somehow causes train derailments…

The US ultra-rich justify their low tax rates with three myths – all of them rubbish
Don't fall for these three myths. +
Trickle-down economics is a cruel joke.
The so-called free market has been distorted by huge campaign contributions from the ultra-rich.

Three common myths about the abortion debate : Shots - Health News : NPR
"…That is its own sub-myth — that the Plan B morning-after pill is the same as the abortion pill mifepristone. Plan B is a high dose of regular birth control that prevents ovulation but does not interrupt an existing pregnancy. Mifepristone ends a pregnancy if used in approximately the first 10 weeks.
And it's not just pregnant women who are affected by the uncertainty. People with severe psoriasis, lupus and other autoimmune disorders are already reporting difficulty obtaining methotrexate, a first-line medication for those ailments that can also be used as an abortion medication…"
