n the philosophy of language, we learn the
simple truth that the meaning of a word is how
it’s used in a sentence. The same lesson can be
applied to religion – with the meaning of religious
language best understood by how it is being used.
I recalled this lesson this past week as I listened
to some evangelical Christians defending Judge
Roy Moore, the Republican candidate for US Sen-
ate in Alabama. Moore has been charged with sex-
ually assaulting and abusing at least seven girls
when he was in his 30s and they were between 14
and 18 years old. The stories the women tell are
painful to hear and, given the preponderance of
other evidence against Moore, clearly believable.
In the face of all this, Moore has plummeted in
recent statewide polls with the most recent Fox
News poll showing him losing to the Democratic
candidate, Doug Jones, by a 50 per cent to 41pc
margin. What I found disturbing, however, was

across the Middle East. Above, technicians with officials at the event. After the women came forward with their
charges of abuse and assault, Moore’s “Chris-
tian” defenders went overboard using religious
imagery to describe his situation. One bizarrely
attempted to justify Moore’s abuse of a 14-year-
old by comparing it to the biblical narrative: “Take
Joseph and Mary. Mary was a teenager and Joseph
was an adult carpenter. They became the parents
of Jesus”. And Moore’s brother said the judge was
being “persecuted like Jesus Christ was”.
I was in Alabama this past week where I saw a
televised Moore event at a church and listened to
a group of pastors passionately defending their

candidate. The religious language and imagery
used by Moore and his supporters is both disturb-
ing and confounding.
At the event, called “God Save America”, Moore
compared his election to “a spiritual battle” for the
soul of America. Moore’s remarks that “If we don’t
come back to God, we’re not going anywhere”
were echoed by his supporters. When asked how
they could continue to vote for him, two women
offered that Moore was “doing God’s work ... We
took a path away from God ... We need someone
open to bring God back”.
In a series of tweets, Moore decried the charges
against him saying “the forces of evil will lie, cheat,

it will silence and shut up Christian conservatives
