In my local newspaper, there's a calendar of religious events every new year. The 'religion editor' always puts halloween as a Christian holiday, but leaves out the Ascension Day.

Hallowe'en is a Christian holiday, but Ascencion is too, and if they're going to have a calendar, they should get all the main ones.

I assume the "Ascension day" is Good Friday?

Why then wouldnt Halloween be called All Saints Day?

This is a good issue, and I have been following this debate.

To many leftie reporters have contempt and disdain for religion, and those personal feelings often come out when they write about the subject. Even this topic, raised by Duin in the journalism community has been taken by some to mean an argument about religion, rather than merely how to cover religion.

Excellent article and food for thought, but I cannot think of a more potentially explosive topic for network or cable news. Thinking back to the special that FNC did on The Life of Jesus, would the next project be the life of Mohammad? Would there be a show that would include a panel of scholars on various religions? Would this be instructional for the viewing audience without creating conflict? Is it possible that any such show created by televised media would do nothing more than support the global unified religion?

My local newspaper has a weekly section on religion. The last covered New Age spirituality and had photographs of 3-year olds meditating on mats accompanied by quotes from children about Buddha. This followed a recent column about Indigo children, the terminology eminating from Lightworkers who glorify Lucifer. I exchanged emails with the columnist. She had no problem with Indigo and said it promoted spirituality, rather than religion.

So, any ideas here on how religion could actually be covered in the news?
