×In a stunning display of religious overreach and intellectual cowardice, Baylor University shamefully rejected a $643,000 research grant intended to study LGBTQ+ experiences in religious spaces. This isn't just about lost funding; it’s a clear message that appeasing conservative fundamentalists and their bigoted donors trumps academic freedom, scientific inquiry, and basic human dignity. The university’s fear of uncovering uncomfortable truths about its own marginalized students and faculty is a stark illustration of how dogma silences facts, prioritizing comfort over compassion. It’s a classic playbook move: preserving antiquated beliefs, even if it means actively harming the very people they claim to serve. A truly pathetic and hypocritical stance for an institution of 'higher learning'.

The land of the free? Not if you're trans. The U.S. is cementing itself as a hostile environment for transgender individuals and their families, with anti-trans policies driving some to flee the country. This isn't about protecting kids; it's about control, bigotry, and weaponizing pseudoscience for political gain, threatening fundamental human rights and democracy itself. While policymakers ignore actual science and real issues like equal pay or child starvation, humanists and secular advocates must fight for inclusion, truth, and dignity for all, especially those without the privilege to escape this dangerous erosion of liberty. It's an alarming attack on identity and autonomy.

A major Pride event just showed its true colors, gatekeeping an LGBTQ+ affirming atheist group. Recovering from Religion, a vital ally for those healing from religious trauma, was disinvited from St. John's Pride after initial approval—likely to appease religious groups. This baffling double standard, where a secular organization committed to dignity gets booted while commercial sponsors are welcome, smacks of hypocrisy. It raises troubling questions about who truly belongs at Pride and highlights a discomfort with non-religious voices, even when they advocate for core Pride values.

The IRS just dropped a bombshell, effectively kneecapping the Johnson Amendment and letting religious organizations openly politick from the pulpit without losing their tax-exempt status. Critics warn this could turn churches into tax-free PACs, funneling dark money into elections and further blurring the lines between church and state. While rarely enforced, this move exposes a glaring double standard, eroding fundamental principles of separation and allowing unchecked religious influence in politics. It’s a classic case of religious overreach, threatening the integrity of both institutions and democracy itself, all while secular organizations play by stricter rules. The implications for public policy and fair elections are concerning, as accountability vanishes.

When a volcano stirs, who do you trust? This episode dives into the recent seismic activity of Iliamna volcano, contrasting scientific data with dramatic, religiously-tinged speculation about "Lord Vulcan." We expose the dangers of abandoning expert geological analysis for fear-based, supernatural narratives. It’s a hilarious yet critical look at how dogma tries to explain natural events, highlighting the crucial importance of secular principles and relying on actual volcanologists for real insights, especially when communities are at risk.

Texas lawmakers, ignoring devastating floods, shamelessly prioritize a discriminatory bathroom bill, mandating transgender individuals use restrooms based on birth sex. This vile legislation, cloaked in false protection, exposes a hateful agenda to control and endanger marginalized citizens. It's a blatant example of bigoted politicians weaponizing fear and "purity culture" to oppress, rather than address actual crises. The true intent is not protection, but public shaming and identification, harkening back to dark historical periods of government-sanctioned dehumanization. A clear call for human rights over baseless prejudice.

A troubling lawsuit highlights a church's alleged coercion and abuse protection, unpacking how religious institutions, acting as counselors, can demand victims stay in abusive relationships. This discussion explores their disregard for mandatory reporting laws and legal regulations, exposing the dangers when dogma overrides personal autonomy and human well-being. It reveals how such practices can lead to severe psychological harm, especially for children, and calls for secular principles to prevail where vulnerable individuals are concerned.

Carl Sagan wasn't a prophet, just a brilliant scientist who saw the writing on the wall decades ago. This episode unpacks his chillingly accurate predictions about America's descent into misinformation, scientific illiteracy, and a society where critical thinking is abandoned for superstition. We dive deep into how his warnings about issues like climate change were tragically ignored, highlighting the dangers of prioritizing profit over people and the urgent need for a return to reason. It’s a stark reminder of the uphill battle against denial, and why teaching skepticism to future generations is our only hope against unchecked power and climate catastrophe. Time to forge a new future with compassion, courage, and empirical evidence!

This episode unearths another chilling truth: an Australian Orthodox priest's sexual assault conviction, met with the church's grotesque demand for silence— 'sheep do not judge the shepherd'. We expose how religious authority wields doctrine to shield abusers and gaslight victims, equating critique with blasphemy to maintain unchecked power. It's a shocking look at how institutions, prioritizing piety over people, perpetuate cycles of abuse and male unaccountability. This isn't just about a single priest; it's a stark warning about the systemic dangers of faith unburdened by reason, demanding we demand transparency and critical thinking to protect the vulnerable.

Unearthing horrifying truths, this episode tackles the Catholic Church's unspeakable abuses at Irish mother-baby homes, where hundreds of infants, born "out of wedlock," were tragically left to die and buried in mass graves. We expose how religious doctrine, intertwined with pervasive societal shame and male unaccountability, created a brutal system designed to control women and punish perceived "sins". It's a stark reminder of what happens when piety trumps compassion, showing the urgent need for secular governance and a society that values every life. This isn't just history; it's a chilling warning.

Global population estimates, long considered bedrock facts, are facing a fascinating scientific challenge from new research. A study suggests Earth's human count could be vastly underestimated, potentially affecting critical resource allocation for rural communities. This segment dives into the method, expert skepticism, and the vital role of intellectual humility in scientific discovery. It's a perfect example of how even "concrete" numbers can be flawed by unchecked assumptions, reinforcing that a healthy skepticism and a willingness to self-correct are the hallmarks of good science – unlike those who seek to use such findings to fuel wild conspiracy theories or undermine trust in facts. It's a refreshing look at how the scientific process truly works, even if it might mean the world is a lot more crowded than we thought.

Republican-led states, spearheaded by Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, are launching a new accreditation body for higher education, aiming to dismantle existing standards deemed 'ideologically biased.' This move seeks to strip colleges of diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives, replacing robust academic curricula with 'anti-woke' content focused solely on workforce metrics and conservative dogma. It's a transparent ploy to cultivate a less critically thinking populace, benefit dubious institutions like 'Trump University,' and funnel taxpayer money to politically aligned ventures. This attack on comprehensive education prioritizes control and revenue over intellectual development, turning higher learning into an echo chamber for a narrow ideology, ultimately undermining the very fabric of an informed citizenry.

Oklahoma's Superintendent Ryan Walters faces a lawsuit over new, controversially enacted education standards that inject Christian nationalist dogma and conspiracy theories into public school curricula. These changes, lacking transparency, bundle divisive religious content with popular but unfunded mandates, exemplifying a "shit-filled M&M" approach to policy. This blatant religious overreach is part of a broader Christian nationalist strategy to indoctrinate children, undermine secular education, and solidify power by marginalizing other faiths and non-believers. It highlights hypocrisy and poses significant challenges for teachers and the separation of church and state.** News Source: Oklahoma Sued Over School Standards, By Hemant Mehta for The Friendly Atheist, July 2, 2025 🔗 https://www.friendlyatheist.com/p/oklahoma-sued-over-school-standards The Non-Prophets, Episode 24.28.1 with Scott Dickie, Stephen Harder, and Eli Slack Oklahoma's Unholy Curriculum 🏫 Walters' Theocratic Takeover 🔥 No Separation, No Problem? 🤦* Dumbing Down for Dollars 💰 Bible-Thumping Bureaucracy ✝️ Christian Nationalist Playbook Unveiled 🚩 Unfunded Mandates: A Shady Deal 💸 Indoctrination, Oklahoma Style 📖 School Standards: Rigged Game 🎲 Propaganda in Public Schools 📣 Teachers: Learn Your Bible! 🧐 Theocratic Education: A Warning ⚠️ "Secular" Bible Studies: Riiight 🙄 When Public Policy Goes Wild 🤯 Battling Brainwashing in Schools 🛡️ Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-non-prophets--3254964/support .…
Colorado Springs City Council just threw their "inclusive" mask out the window, refusing to acknowledge Pride Month after three years, all because a Satanic group dared to utter "Hail Satan" at their parade. This isn't just about two words; it's a chilling display of hypocrisy and religious bigotry, driven by social media outrage that pushed a government body to discriminate against an entire community. While claiming to avoid "identity-based gestures," they weaponize religion against the LGBTQ+ community, proving that for some, the only identity that truly matters is their own narrow, Christian one. It’s a bleak reminder that the fight for secularism and equality is far from over, especially when politicians cave to fear-mongering and pretend their religious intolerance isn't a political act. They demonize a non-theistic group for satire, while simultaneously harming queer individuals by making them feel "othered" and unsafe.

Texas is pulling a fast one, mandating Ten Commandments posters in every public school classroom! This isn't about education, folks; it's a blatant, unconstitutional push to inject religious dogma into secular learning environments, ignoring clear historical precedents for the separation of church and state. Opponents highlight the staggering hypocrisy of a state with the death penalty pushing "thou shalt not kill," while taxpayers brace for the inevitable legal battles this divine decree will unleash. It’s a classic case of religious overreach disguised as civic duty, proving some will stop at nothing to turn public schools into personal pulpits.
