New York City’s new mayor has sent the pearl-clutchers into a full-blown meltdown by daring to put his hand on a stack of Qurans instead of the traditional "magic book." We’re breaking down the hilarious irony of Christians demanding a Muslim swear on a text he doesn't believe in just to satisfy their sense of privilege. From the US Constitution’s clear "no religious test" clause to the microscopic mites living in your eyelashes, we explore why authenticity triggers the religious right and why a promise to uphold the law shouldn't require a specific brand of ancient fan fiction.

WHAT IS THE NON-PROPHETS?
The Non-Prophets is a internet show airing at 06:00pm Central time Monday, Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday each week. Where we navigate through current events, providing a secular viewpoint that adds depth to the unfolding narrative.
The Atheist Community of Austin is organized as a nonprofit educational corporation to develop and support the atheist community, to provide opportunities for socializing and friendship, to promote secular viewpoints, to encourage positive atheist culture, to defend the first amendment principle of state-church separation, to oppose discrimination against atheists and to work with other organizations in pursuit of common goals.
We define atheism as the lack of belief in gods. This definition also encompasses what most people call agnosticism.
