Apologies for the incompleteness of this post. I seem to have deleted a draft version of this post with considerably more links.

  • Liverpool Daily Post reports on a “militant atheist” leaving offensive imagery in John Lennon airport’s prayer room.
  • The Montreal Gazette notes a story about a prostitution scandal high in the ranks of the papacy.
  • The Montreal Gazette also reports on a woman refusing to uncover her face during a French class for new immigrants.
  • The Chron, with the RPS’ theme of art and the public contestation of religion, notes a controversial version of the Stations of the Cross in Texas.

  • Fox News reports on the University of Texas San Antonio’s student atheist groups’ “religious texts for porn” program.
  • CBC News has an article about an Islamic scholar issuing a fatwa against terrorism.
  • CNN discusses a recent study about the link between atheism, liberalism, and intelligence, taking a evolutionary-psychology approach to the matter.
  • Newsweek has a round-table about the politics of the label “terrorist,” cued by the recent anti-tax attack in the U.S.
  • The Guardian has an op-ed about a website the Church of England launched, posting prayers for public viewing.
  • The Montreal Gazette (once more) has a piece on the subtexts of the ethics courses of public high schools.
  • MacLean’s has an op-ed about Tiger Woods and Buddhism. (Check out Nick’s recent post on the topic on this very blog, also)
