Religion majors rejoice: Nathan Schneider at Religion Dispatches explains why he thinks the world needs religious studies.

The Dalai Lama is questioning whether self-immolations should be used as a form of protest, echoing the misgivings of other Tibetan leaders.

Relevant Magazine asks: should a candidate’s religion matter?


CNN reports that Muslims in Britain are “optimistic and proud” according to a new survey.

OMG: Pakistan might ban the use of “Jesus Christ” in text messages, along with more than 1,000 other words.

Finally, our Tweet of the Day comes from the (comedic) Tweet of God. Apparently Jesus has a curfew.

@TheTweetOfGod – “When’s your son coming back?” By 11 o’clock, or He’s grounded.
