Most studies of electoral behaviour in New Zealand do not pay much attention to thereligious-secular cleavage. While a few studies noted a religious-secular cleavage prior to theadoption of proportional representation, most have assumed that such a divide since 1996 hasbeen confined to the margins of electoral politics, with religious voters supporting smallerthird parties over National. This article re-evaluates this conclusion using data from the NewZealand Election Study since 1990. The analyses show that, rather than supporting smallthird parties more clearly representing issues of concern to them, religious voters have votedlargely for National in most elections as part of a religious-secular cleavage between Nationaland Labour. Fluctuation in support for National among religious voters is tied to National'selectoral fortunes: religious voters have been more likely to support National when the partyhas been likely to form the next government, but more likely to cast votes for third partieswhen National's prospects have been poor.

This paper discusses the impact of COVID-19 on religious practices and religious conviviality in two local governments within Ibadan Metropolis-Ibadan North and Akinyele Local Government Areas. Beyond the impact of the pandemic, it also discusses the reformulations and strategies embarked upon by both Christian and Muslim leaders in ensuring that religious activities are not totally grounded, and that their religious communities remained closely knitted together. Qualitative data, through the use of individual in-depth interviews and participant observation, were collected over the space of three months, from December 2020 to March 2021. Findings reveal some general and unique impacts, which include: temporary disembodiment, an onslaught on religious and civic engagements, shrinking finances that halted earmarked projects, and the challenges of support for grieving members. In addressing these impact on activities, religious leaders embarked on some reformulations that include: employing the usage of digital technology where it applies; the transition to the use of house fellowships and cell gatherings; the (re)calibration of welfare systems to meet current demands; and the leveraging on the skills of the youth population to intensify religious worship and to sustain conviviality. The paper argues that these readjustments present a continuation to religious activities, which otherwise might seem, from a superficial perspective, as a total disembodiment.

Husbands who physical abuse their wives are not a rare phenomenon. In fact, this type of domestic violence exists in all societies and social strata. This paper investigates the matter through interviews with Lebanese religious authorities who are familiar with relevant court cases.

One of the core debates present at the founding of the United States has involved citizens' freedom to worship as they please. It is an issue that remains relevant today. This fascinating collection reveals religious liberty during the nation's earliest days, how religion influenced Sunday laws and liquor laws, and persecution faced by sects such as Mormons and Jehovah's Witnesses. Areas of church and state conflict include school prayer, gay rights, and abortion. Modern day issues of transgender rights and travel bans to majority Islamic countries round out religious liberty debates that continue to evolve through the twenty-first century. Media literacy terms and questions will engage readers to consider the topic beyond the text.
