Calvin University professor James K.A. Smith made news this week by calling for the university to effectively “divorce” or, in his words, “unhook” itself from its denominational affiliation, the Christian Reformed Church.

Saturday Night Live is now cracking jokes about children needing both a mom and a dad—an idea that, not long ago, cost people their jobs, reputations, and relationships. It’s a sobering reminder of how fake and performative our culture is. And once again: The Christians and
