The politician who mentions atheists – And what happens
Atheists are among the least spoken groups in political life. Politicians refer to every kind of religion. They praise Christian heritage, show respect for Jewish communities, meet Muslim leaders, and even flatter vague spirituality. Yet they almost never mention atheists. If they do, it often leads to tension, controversy, or silence. Religion is treated as…

Atheist lies, religious truths
I stumbled upon a profile with a solid number of subscribers. Its motto was simple and dramatic: “I used to be an atheist, then I found faith, and I put away atheist lies.” It looked powerful, almost poetic. But when you stop and think, the claim collapses. What exactly are these so-called atheist lies? Atheism…

Should we let scientific elites speak? No way!
Should we give the microphone to scientific elites just because they hold titles? No way. The public space is overrun by frauds. The media is full of professors who are unknown in real science, commentators who never touched logic, and philosophers who abuse words to hide their emptiness. The result is a society made weak…

There must be God, little, extremely limited
The old God is dead. The personal God of the churches fell under the weight of science. The deist God of philosophers fell under the blows of reason. Yet the word “God” never vanished. Too many people cannot let go of it. Instead, they cut it down. They stripped it of power, personality, and transcendence…

How malicious acts help the devil of the US establishment
It is tempting to think that malicious acts—terrorist attacks, financial collapses, scandals, riots—hurt the United States government. They look like blows against power. They seem to undermine legitimacy. Yet history shows the opposite. Every time a crisis strikes, the establishment bends it into fuel. What was meant to hurt makes it stronger. What was meant…

Should we be culturally Christian?
Cultural Christianity sounds harmless. People say it means celebrating Christmas, enjoying church weddings, or calling Europe “Christian” even when belief is gone. But behind this idea hides a dangerous illusion. It preserves myths from the Bronze Age. It keeps alive a worldview that belongs to shepherds, priests, and rulers of ancient tribes. And it risks…

Does morality make sense? How did we get here?
Morality is one of the strangest human inventions. It shapes our lives, our politics, our wars, and our daily choices. Yet it rarely serves justice, fairness, or any higher principle (250 Arguments for Atheism, Jan Bryxí 2025). It looks more like a compromise to stop people from killing each other, but even that fails when…

When God inspires laughter: Culture and religion collide
Religion does not mean the same thing everywhere. In one country it inspires reverence, in another it provokes laughter. A single phrase about God can draw tears in the United States but mockery in the Czech Republic. What is sacred in one culture can sound absurd in another. The paradox is visible in music. Wiz…

Why nobody cares about Palestinians: Money doesn’t stink
The paradox is clear. Palestinians face mass suffering, yet the world looks away. Their homes are destroyed, their children killed, and their lives reduced to numbers on a screen. Ukraine dominates front pages, but Gaza appears only in scattered reports, often framed as a security problem. This silence is not an accident. It comes from…

USA and its relationship to torture
The United States presents itself as the global defender of democracy and human rights. It celebrates its constitution, its freedoms, and its rule of law. Yet beneath this image lies a darker tradition. Torture has accompanied American power since its birth. It took different forms in different eras, but the pattern remained. Cruelty was used…
