Media representation of non-believers: Stereotypes and stigma
Define “non-believers” (atheists, agnostics, secular people) as an often-misunderstood minority. Note that surveys regularly find atheists among the least trusted or liked groups. For example, Americans rank atheists first when asked which group “does not at all agree with my vision of American society.” Emphasize media’s influence: news and entertainment often shape public attitudes toward…

Animalistic morality and societal structures
Morality is something animalistic. There is no justice in who will be born, how many people will exist, or how good a life he or she will live. Moral steps that lead to good outcomes are aberrations — the whole system is much closer to moral nihilism. It was the highly esteemed Professor Jaroslav Peregrin,…

The hidden Jewish and Anglosaxon clientelism in the CIA
The CIA presents itself as an intelligence agency serving the United States. In reality, it has always served networks of influence — financial, ideological, and ethnic. Among these, Jewish clientelism has quietly shaped alliances, recruitment, and foreign policy priorities. Also, Anglosaxon clientelism has its say in the CIA. The goal is not to accuse an…

We want state atheism, but not the Chinese one
Humanity stands between two worlds. One still kneels before invisible gods, while the other slowly rises through reason and science. We dream of a civilization without religion, where people act from understanding, not superstition. Yet we must admit a danger. History shows that when governments try to erase religion by force, they replace one tyranny…

The unwanted truth: Even dictators need human rights
Many countries still treat human rights as a Western imposition rather than a moral necessity. They reject them as tools of foreign interference, colonial arrogance, or cultural domination. Yet behind this rejection lies a contradiction. The same governments that denounce the West still depend on the very international order that human rights created. The question…

China’s education and science systems: Crossroads of reform
China’s future as a global technology leader depends critically on its ability to reform its education and scientific research systems. Today’s schooling and research apparatus remains largely rigid, focused on rote learning and hierarchical bureaucracy. Without bold change, millions of students and scholars will continue to be funneled through an outdated pipeline that stifles creativity…

Either you are a believer or an atheist, not an agnostic
Agnosticism is not a worldview. It is a lack of one. People often present it as intellectual humility — the safe and “rational” middle ground between faith and disbelief. Yet this neutrality is an illusion. Every human being already lives as either a believer or a non-believer. Agnosticism is only a delay, not a decision.…

Women’s rights in conservative religious communities
Religious traditions have shaped civilizations, guided morality, and provided meaning for centuries. Yet in conservative religious communities, those same traditions often reduce women to instruments of obedience. They are praised as mothers and caretakers but denied autonomy, education, and voice. The result is a system that calls itself moral but thrives on control. In such…

The biggest loser of all time? God!
God is praised as the creator of everything. The almighty ruler. The ultimate source of love, goodness, and order. Yet His track record tells a different story. If we judged Him by the world He built, He would be the biggest loser of all time. The planet He supposedly governs has been soaked in blood,…

No higher purpose: Finding meaning in a purposeless universe
Humans are the only species aware of their own mortality. That awareness makes us different from every other animal. It also drives us insane. The moment we realize that we are going to die, we start inventing stories about why we live. We cannot stand the thought that life has no purpose. Yet nature gives…
