Even some not so intelligent people don’t believe in God
Disbelief in God is often treated as a mark of superior intelligence. People imagine scientists, philosophers, or brilliant skeptics tearing down arguments of faith. But reality is not that simple. Even some not so intelligent people do not believe in God. They did not arrive there through complex reasoning. They reached it by relying on…

How all prophecies failed
Prophecy has always fascinated humanity. It has been presented as a divine message, a glimpse of destiny, or even proof of God’s omniscience. Many religious traditions claim that prophecy is evidence of divine inspiration, since only an all-knowing being could foretell the future. If that were true, prophecy would be the strongest confirmation of religion’s…

We can question Christianity, not Islam
You can question Christianity in most Western countries, you can mock it, you can publish it. And you will face criticism, maybe protests, but not a death sentence.Now compare that with many Muslim-majority states. Question Islam. Name the Prophet. Challenge scripture. You can face prison. You can face mobs. In some places, you can face…

Nationalize the Vatican’s power and wealth
The Vatican is more than a spiritual institution. It functions as a global empire. For centuries, it has blended religion, politics, finance, and secrecy. It owns land, runs banks, shapes diplomacy, and influences morality. Although it presents itself as sacred, it operates like a state—yet enjoys legal and financial privileges that no other power on…

Does arguing with priests make sense?
I have an opportunity to have talks with one Roman Catholic priest and then two Evangelical ones. Does arguing with them really make sense? I cannot persuade them to stop believing in God, and since I am a rationally inclined person, there is a very slim chance they can persuade me (but it is still…

I always knew Christianity was a lie, but not that big
I always sensed something was off. The hymns, the miracles, the rituals—they felt artificial. Still, I gave Christianity the benefit of the doubt. I assumed there was at least a man behind it all. A preacher. A reformer. Someone named Jesus. But the deeper I looked, the more the foundation dissolved. It was not just…

Jesus vs Facts: Did he exist?
Everyone thinks they know Jesus. They speak his name, they repeat his teachings. They draw his face. Yet despite all this familiarity, the truth is far more disturbing. In reality, we know almost nothing. Yes, we have gospels. Yes, we have churches. And yes, we have a religion that reshaped half the world. But no,…

Nationalize churches? One agency promoting atheism
First, they asked us to respect religion. Then, they demanded tax exemptions. Eventually, they bought real estate, ran schools, and influenced governments. All along, they played victims. Meanwhile, they grew rich, powerful, and untouchable. So nationalize them. For too long, churches have escaped scrutiny. They present themselves as moral institutions while hoarding obscene wealth. The…

Heaven in various cultures
Every culture tells a story about what comes next. Some call it paradise. Others see it as a return, a liberation, or a cycle without end. The names change. The symbols differ. But the idea remains. There must be something beyond suffering – a place we call heaven. This idea of heaven reveals much more…

We really should not care about the Pope
As an atheist, I have been about to puke when reading, for example, Al Jazeera, The Guardian, Daily Mail, BBC, TMZ and, then, tons of Czech press when the old Pope died and a new one was elected. According to surveys, more than 70% of Czechs identify as non-religious, atheist, or agnostic. Churches remain largely…
