Again, what about the religious left?
The two controversial bloggers hired by the presidential campaign of John Edwards have quit after people complained that they had written some things that were anti-Catholic. No, they weren’t fired. They went on their own accord:

Why free will matters
Anytime a newspaper reporter tries to tackle the subject of philosophy in a serious way, it’s a good thing. Carey Goldberg’s report in The Boston Globe on Harvard professor Marc Hauser’s work to prove that morality is universally hard-wired into the brain is no exception.

Newsweek moralizes on interfaith communion
Newsweek‘s weekly BeliefWatch section is great. It’s a guaranteed two-column slot in a national magazine that will focus on some unique issue relating the religion. Usually it’s a story that has received little or no coverage elsewhere, and for that the contributors to the section should be commended.

In commenting on previous posts about the Super Bowl, GetReligion reader Evagrius has been quick and consistent in reminding us that football is just a “bloody, brutal and violent” game that has nothing to do with religion or Christianity. I respectfully disagree about the religion part (what sport in America has more religious people in it than football?), but that does not mean that the concerns Evagrius raises are not covered by the media, and many of them have a lot do with moral issues.
