Secular Defense

Religion has long been a source of conflict, suffering, and division throughout human history. From the Crusades to modern-day terrorism, religious ideologies have fueled wars, justified oppression, and perpetuated systemic inequalities. While some view religion as a source of moral guidance and community, its historical and ongoing impact suggests it functions more like a contagious…

The Family Research Council’s publication, “Biblical Principles for Religious Liberty,” makes a compelling case that faith cannot be coerced and that persuasion, not force, must be Christianity’s method. Yet the same organization spends millions lobbying for laws that do exactly what their theology condemns: using state power to force non-Christians to live according to Christian…

This is my response to an article titled: The Most Pro-Life Administration Celebrates the March for Life, Pushing Legislation Which Encourages It The Christian right has long framed itself as a defender of moral values. But its true legacy is one of eroding civil liberties and undermining the pluralism that defines American democracy. By conflating…

While many Christians condemn abortion, LGBT rights, and contraception as sins against biblical law, they remain silent on the First Amendment’s promotion of religious pluralism—despite the fact that it too is a sin against biblical law. The First Commandment is clear: “You shall have no other gods before me” (Exodus 20:3). In Christian theology, this…

Ah, book bans. Truly a shining example of how society protects itself from the dangers of free thought.

They have protested, lobbied, and spoken with moral urgency, calling for the protection of human dignity and divine truth. Yet one moral issue remains largely unchallenged:…

Religious freedom—celebrated as a cornerstone of American liberty—is a sin against God, a state–sanctioned endorsement of idolatry, and a moral betrayal of Christian truth. The First Amendment protects the right to worship false gods, deny God, promotes moral relativism, and sanctions sin. The First Commandment is clear: “You shall have no other gods before me.”…

The claim that the United States is a “Christian nation” is rooted in historical references to the Founding Fathers, America’s colonial religious life, and cultural ties to Judeo-Christian values. However, even a simple reading of the First Amendment—the cornerstone of American religious freedom—reveals a fundamental contradiction. Far from affirming a Christian foundation, the First Amendment…

We all want to live free—free to make choices about our bodies, our families, our relationships, and our lives. But recently that freedom is being attacked—not from government overreach, but from a powerful movement that seeks to impose their beliefs on the rest of us. The United States has long prided itself on religious freedom…
