| Sumario: | This critical-qualitative content analysis of the past 20 years of research articles in the Journal of Communication and Religion (JCR) reveals that the vast majority of JCR publications explores power-neutral questions. Additionally, many articles conflate "religion" and "Christianity" in theory and analysis, reinforcing the communication discipline's epistemological bias toward White, masculine supremacy (Chakravartty et al., 2018). From this we conclude that JCR's editorial process operates as an inequality regime, publishing Christonormative research that ignores and therefore reproduces known hierarchies of difference. We offer practical, structural suggestions on how religious communication scholars might contest this inequality regime.
