Losing Our Religion: The Liberal Media's Attack on Christianity (2010) is a book-length critique of media bias by author, journalist, and conservative political commentator, S. E. Cupp.
Contents |
Cupp argues that the liberal media is not only unreliable, irresponsible, and partisan,[1] but they are also guilty of inciting a "revolution" that will destabilize and dilute Christian America[1]. She also claims that The New York Times, The Washington Post, CNN, and Newsweek among others "mock, subvert, pervert, corrupt, debase, and extinguish" [1] the Judeo-Christian ethic and back believers into a dark, irrelevant, morally void corner of American society.
In her book Cupp wrote, according to Newsweek, that:
The Washington Post asked the National Center for Science Education's Joshua Rosenau "to weigh in on Cupp's scholarship" on the issue of evolution. He responded by saying that S.E. Cupp's handling of science and religion misrepresents the nature of evolution, obscures the science of biology, and dismisses the deeply-held religious views of most Christians outside of the fundamentalist subculture. This is the sort of misrepresentation which Rosenau believes leads her to concoct an anti-Christian conspiracy on the part of reporters, and to say that Darwin is "quite literally the antichrist" for liberals.[3]
Some believe Cupp presents evolution—and science more generally—as the enemy of religion. Reporters' "propping up of science," she writes, is an "attack on Christianity."[3] She concludes by complaining that "the liberal media is not interested in acknowledging our nation as a deeply religious one," and repeats her claim that evolution has been a weapon used to attack Christians.
