The Haters and Bigots Are Still After Folau

Jun 23, 2019

Having already written 14 full or partial articles in the past 14 months about Christian Rugby star Israel Folau, I really did not think I would be writing any more. But as anti-Christian bigotry and Folau-bashing keeps ramping up, it

What a Labor Win Will Mean for Freedom, Religion, and Children in Australia

The Chilling Crackdown on Freedom and the Uncritical Elevation of Islam Following Christchurch

Mar 24, 2019

On Burqa Bans

Plenty of ink has already been spilled on the government response to the recently-released Ruddock report on religious freedom, but let me present a few more words on it. First, I will offer a number of brief considerations, and then

The War Against “Conversion Therapy”
