Maybe we can work out some sort of exchange program with The Corner. They can loan us an agnostic and we can send over an evangelical.
To be fair, I suspect there are a number of evangelicals that write for that blog who just don’t identify themselves as evangelical on there (Mark Hemingway or Maggie Gallagher, perhaps?). NR has always tilted Catholic—as has First Things which is often mistaken for a “Roman Catholic journal”—so its not surprising that their most vocal religious folks (Ramesh Ponnuru, Kathryn Lopez) would be from that side of the Tiber.
John Mark does has a point, though, about the ratio of professed evangelicals to professed atheists being oddly disproportionate. That is curious.
You have a decision to make: double or nothing.
For this week only, a generous supporter has offered to fully match all new and increased donations to First Things up to $60,000.
In other words, your gift of $50 unlocks $100 for First Things, your gift of $100 unlocks $200, and so on, up to a total of $120,000. But if you don’t give, nothing.
So what will it be, dear reader: double, or nothing?
Make your year-end gift go twice as far for First Things by giving now.
