New video is up. As 2026 approaches, I’m sharing a few commitments I want to practice more consistently as a skeptic. This one is about thinking clearly, disagreeing well, and staying honest with myself.

Part 4 of my response to Mike Jones from Inspiring Philosophy is finally up.
I dig into Mike's claims about Christianity being a "determining factor" of democracy, separation of church and state, and even reducing Christian nationalism, and I explain why I lean toward secular humanism instead.

You will learn how often Christian leaders endorsed slavery, what the Bible texts say, and why historians call abolition a multi-cause movement.
If you think “Imago Dei = abolition,” this will challenge you.

New video is up: “Inspiring Philosophy’s Method Errors Explained (Part 2)”
I break down why multivariate studies do not prove causation, show how “religiosity” gets swapped in for “Christianity,” and fact-check the birth rate claims with real data.

If you know Mike Jones from Inspiring Philosophy, you've probably noticed his habit of citing a ton of research papers. But he often misinterprets what those studies actually say. In his recent debate with Dan Barker, I’ll show you exactly how that happens.
