A church you are ashamed of?Ĭarlson’s relationship with the Episcopal Church has often been noted in the press: It isn’t the first time he’s called his own church “shallow” and remarking, “it’s not even a Christian religion at this point, I say with shame.” While the entire clip is troubling, Carlson’s ridicule of the Episcopal Church is striking. She was a major fan of Carlson, calling him a “messenger of God.” Vanity Fair reports that this may have contributed to Murdoch’s sudden booting of his star: Rupert Murdoch, FOX chair and founder, is (at least) vaguely hostile to religion.

Vanity Fair was the only major publication to suggest that religion may have played a role in his firing. But, in recent years, Carlson has attacked social justice Christians, Black Christians, and liberal members of his own denomination - the Episcopal Church. On the face of it, religion doesn’t seem to have much to do with this story. These racially charged comments, combined with the allegations against Carlson brought by Abby Grossberg, a former FOX News producer, of sexual discrimination and gender bias by him and his staff, surely contributed to the downfall of the most powerful right-wing broadcaster in American politics.
