The Non-Prophets, Episode 21.04 airing Sunday, January 23rd 2022 featuring Laura Magee, Richard Gilliver and August.Ships log: Rear Admiral Johnny P. Angel reporting.Ahoy! This week aboard the Flagship of the Atheist Experience Network, Laura Magee, Richard Gilliver and August head for international waters. Of course, they begin at the official NP winter quarters, a small, but comfortable villa, up the Tiber from the Tyrrhenian Sea, not far from Ostia Antica, seaport of ancient Rome, itself. The skuttlebutt is that il Papa is singing some pro-LGBTQ shanties. A closer listen is warranted. They find that his tone is somehow off…hmmm. Having weighed anchor, these modern day Argonauts sail for what seems a lifetime, only to find themselves traversing the Sulu Sea (yes, the SULU Sea). Upon making landfall at Bataan Port, our intrepid crew surveys the Philippines’ new ban on child marriage. About time they cheer! But what is this, they each descry through their looking glass? The expected: religious-types making a typical stink. Noted in the ship’s log. Time to make waves…a fair wind blows them southwest along the coast to Borneo, west to Singapore, past the tip of India, through the Suez Canal, beyond the Straights of Gibraltar, hugging Portugal, Espana, and Frahhhnce, across the channel, skirting the eastern coast of England, and FINALLY laying anchor at the Port of Tilbury, in Essex, UK. Here, Captain Laura and the Bridge Crew stride the gangplank and inspect lowly Piltdown Man and his cobbled-together head. They’ve collected their shillings and shamble (their legs are not used to such stability) to the nearest pub, where over whatever drinks they elect, they confabulate a spell on the topic of that singular cohort: Gen Z: and how they do, and do not get together. We hope you enjoy the journey as much as we did.

And we learned Jesus is no longer stopping traffic but serving time instead.

The Non-Prophets 20.16 2021-04-14 Martin Robert, Neil the 604 Atheist, Laura Magee, PhoenixOn this week’s episode of the Non-Prophets, we discuss some great topics. Phoenix opens up the floor with some history about Madalyn Murray O’Hair, the life and times of one of the most prominent atheists in America. Next, Laura and Martin discuss how religiosity influences a greater wage gap, as opposed to more secular workforces which tend to have a smaller gap. After that, our hosts go over the ins and outs of Scientology’s monetary habits, and how they may be losing their financial foothold as a non-profit. Our fourth article is about the Freedom From Religion Foundation and how they dropped a recent lawsuit after the state they were suing accommodated the FfRF’s request...or did they? Alabama sure is a tricky one. Lastly, we get into the issue of censorship in Italy and how the grasp of religiosity has been removed from their movie industry.Looking Back...https://freethoughtalmanac.wordpress.com/2011/04/13/april-13-madalyn-murray-ohair/Additional Articleshttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Madalyn_Murray_O%27Hairhttps://www.britannica.com/topic/School-District-of-Abington-Township-v-Schempp#ref1203585https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abington_School_District_v._Schempphttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Atheistshttps://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLCA7B39A80C71F248https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yflQd2jyp7Yhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FPrsitqV04ghttps://katv.com/news/local/creationism-bill-passed-in-house-headed-to-senateSecond Article: https://www.psypost.org/2021/04/religion-is-a-driving-force-behinHid-the-gender-wage-gap-study-finds-60278https://www.psypost.org/2019/11/new-psychology-research-indicates-that-subtle-exposure-to-religious-words-can-increase-benevolent-sexism-54956https://journals.aom.org/doi/abs/10.5465/amj.2019.1254https://journals.aom.org/doi/10.5465/amj.2019.1254.summaryhttps://www.jstor.org/stable/43496468?seq=3#metadata_info_tab_contentshttps://www.jstor.org/stable/26303306?Search=yes&resultItemClick=true&searchText=religion+and+wage+gap&searchUri=%2Faction%2FdoBasicSearch%3FQuery%3Dreligion%2Band%2Bwage%2Bgap&ab_segments=0%2Fbasic_search_gsv2%2Fcontrol&refreqid=fastly-default%3A4cfb74c259f6801fb8e0ae28956295fa&seq=53#metadata_info_tab_contentsThird Article: https://www.smh.com.au/national/push-for-investigation-into-scientology-s-charity-status-20210401-p57fsj.htmlhttps://www.ualberta.ca/folio/2018/01/once-thriving-church-of-scientology-faces-extinction-says-cult-tracker.htmlhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tax_status_of_Scientology_in_the_United_Stateshttps://www.theage.com.au/national/scientology-shifts-millions-to-safe-haven-australia-and-books-multi-million-dollar-profits-20210325-p57e18.htmlhttps://www.smh.com.au/national/scientology-is-shrinking-fast-and-getting-richer-how-is-this-possible-20210326-p57ea3.htmlhttps://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-9019027/Church-Scientology-received-30-PPP-loans-worth-4-million.htmlFourth Article: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2021/apr/06/italy-ends-censorship-of-films-on-moral-and-religious-groundshttps://www.al.com/news/2020/10/freedom-from-religion-group-sues-alabama-over-so-help-me-god-voter-oath.htmlhttps://ffrf.org/news/action/item/38707-take-action-oppose-religious-takeover-of-public-schools-in-arkansashttps://www.arkleg.state.ar.us/Bills/Detail?ddBienniumSession=2021%2F2021R&measureno=HB1701https://www.arkleg.state.ar.us/Bills/FTPDocument?path=%2FBills%2F2021R%2FPublic%2FSB662.pdfEnding on a High Note: https://www.al.com/news/2021/04/freedom-from-religion-foundation-drops-lawsuit-after-alabama-amends-so-help-me-god-voter-oath.htmlhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Propaganda_and_censorship_in_Italy_during_the_First_World_Warhttps://encyclopedia.1914-1918-online.net/article/pressjournalism_italyhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Censorship_in_Italy

Episode 20.14 of The Non-Prophets airing April 4th featuring Jena Miyu, Arden of Eden, Mikey Famine and guest host Christy Powell of Secular Sexuality.This week’s episode starts with recent news from China and how the Chinese education system is pushing for teaching masculinity to young boys in school due to illegitimate fears of an effeminate take over. To no one’s surprise, the Catholic Church recently changed its stance on same-sex unions. Hear what the hosts have to say about the Vatican’s reasons of why Pope Francis’ original statements on same-sex unions have been taken out of context. In our “Shit Apologists Say” segment, the host comment on a recent interview from a former transgender woman, now transitioned man and Christian apologist Walt Heyer and how his faith and unfortunate experience is setting a bad precedent of misinformation regarding transgender people. In our final segment, the hosts positively reflect on the importance and meaning of March 31st, 2021, which marked the 12th annual International Transgender Day of Visibility.1st Article: The “Masculinity Crisis” in China [ 15 min. ]Main Article https://www.nbcnews.com/news/world/china-proposes-teaching-masculinity-boys-state-alarmed-changing-gender-roles-n1258939Supplemental Links https://www.nytimes.com/2021/02/05/world/asia/china-masculinity-schoolboys.html2nd Article: (Un)Bless-ed Are the Same-Sex Unions [ 20 min. ]Main Article https://apnews.com/article/vatican-decree-same-sex-unions-cannot-bless-sin-077944750c975313ad253328e4cf7443Supplemental Links https://www.francescofilm.com/ - Link to documentary referenced in main article that Pope Francis was quoted inhttps://press.vatican.va/content/salastampa/it/bollettino/pubblico/2021/03/15/0157/00330.html#ing - Link to two-page response and negative vote from Pope Francis regarding the blessing of same-sex unions3rd Segment: [ SHIT APOLOGISTS SAY ] - Walt Heyer: The Apologist Formerly Known as Laura Jensen [ 20 min. ]Main Article https://www.christiantoday.com/article/what.drives.people.to.reject.their.own.gender/136549.htmLink to Walt Heyer’s Website: https://sexchangeregret.com/Supplemental Links https://issuu.com/lgbtagingcenter/docs/usts-full-report-final4th Segment [ POSITIVE REFLECTION ] - March 31st, International Transgender Day of Visibility [ 20 min. ]Main Articlehttps://www.pinknews.co.uk/2021/03/23/trans-day-of-visibility-2021-international-transgender-theme-events/Links to groups/organizations/charities to support trans communitiesAll About Tranks (UK) : https://www.allabouttrans.org.uk/about/support-organisations/American Based Organizations : https://www.shondaland.com/act/a27789423/24-lgbtq-organizations-support-right-now/Get out and vote.
