2. Great idea and support pinning this and leaving it open for replies.

My go-to website is http://www.religiondispatches.org . They have some really great contributors and post interesting pieces related to current politics.

Joanna Brooks is my favorite. She is a Mormon, a feminist, pro-GLBT rights and very tough on the Mormon bureaucracy.

They also have atheist writers, Muslim writers and faculty from progressive theological programs.

Religion News Service - http://www.religionnews.com - is a good site that accumulates stories from other sources and covers a wide range of topics. They do some editorial work and have contributors from both theist and atheist sources and everything in between.

The Huffington post has a good religion section, although they often have articles that may be too controversial for this group and would be considered flamebait here. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/news/religion
