Observations on how religion shapes society and personal lives
Most religions insist on two foundational claims about God. God is everywhere.God knows everything. Not poetically. Not symbolically. Literally. God is omnipresent and omniscient. There is no corner of reality outside his awareness. No moment he does not witness. No act he does not see. Nothing escapes his attention. Taken seriously, this creates one of […]

Religion offers humanity a trade.Accept suffering now, and you will be compensated later. Obey in life, and justice will arrive after death. Endure pain, suppress doubt, and meaning will eventually be revealed. This bargain is not incidental. It is structural. The afterlife is where religion relocates all the things it cannot explain, justify, or deliver

A Thought Experiment on Divine Irrelevance This is not an argument for god.It is a controlled thought experiment. For the sake of analysis only, let us assume that a god exists and triggered the universe into being. We will not argue for this claim, defend it, or attempt to make it plausible. We grant it

Or: How to Lose an Argument While Thinking You’ve Won It Every attack on evolution from a religious standpoint follows the same path. Not broadly. Not loosely. Mechanically. Different authors, different platforms, same manoeuvres. Same misunderstandings. Same end point. Once you see it, you cannot unsee it. The argument ceases to look like reasoning and

1. Introduction Religions often claim that their central stories are unique. Christianity presents the life of Jesus as a once in history revelation. A divine birth. A perfect teacher.

Introduction Gold glitters across altars, chalices, and crosses. It adorns vestments and ceilings, shimmering in candlelight as choirs sing beneath domes painted with saints. To the believer, this radiance may suggest the light of heaven. To the critic, it speaks of earthly wealth disguised as holiness. For centuries the Christian world has surrounded itself with

1. The Cycle of Fear and Faith Every generation is persuaded that it stands at the edge of collapse. Empires tremble, morality decays, nations drift, and in the noise of anxiety religion always finds its voice. The message is as old as the pulpit itself: the world has turned from God, and the proof is

Foreword Across Facebook and YouTube, a new style of creationist content has taken hold. It sounds calm. It uses scientific vocabulary. It sprinkles in fossils, volcanoes, salinity, even the word “isotope”. Then, after the polite tour, it reveals the destination: “This is consistent with Noah’s Flood.” It is not science. It is theology in a

Introduction: The Mind Under Siege Thought crime is the purest tyranny. It punishes not deeds, but ideas. In 1984 George Orwell made it literal: the Party prosecutes citizens for thoughtcrime, using telescreens, hidden microphones, reenactment, minders. But totalitarian regimes are not the only offenders. Religion long ago claimed the same domain: inner life, doubt, desire,
