A new survey from Pew Research reveals once again how deeply divided religious Americans are on matters of race.
Pew’s study suggests that those divisions are unlikely to go away.
Sociology professor George Yancey of Baylor University said that other surveys have shown similar divisions on matters of race and discrimination, adding that attitudes changed little even after the protests that were sparked by the death of Floyd.Yancey said churches have done little to resist the influence of politics among their members. “We have taken our overall polarization and we place it into the racial debate,” he said.
The Rev. Derwin Gray, the pastor of Transformation Church outside Charlotte, North Carolina, and author of “How To Heal Our Racial Divide,” also worries about how race and religion have been intertwined. In recent years, he says, it has become increasingly difficult to talk about race in churches.

New research finds Late Pleistocene glaciations terminated by Earth's axis tilt rather than orbital eccentricityGlacial cyclicity of the Earth has often been considered on 100,000 year timescales, particularly for the Late Pleistocene (~11,700 to 129,000 years ago) swapping between periods of extensive polar and mountain glacier ice sheets, to warmer interglacial periods when ice sheets and glaciers retreated, with subsequent sea level rise. This is thought to be related to three key drivers affecting the amount of solar radiation reaching Earth from the sun.
