China, the world's most populous secular state, arrests Christians from an unsanctioned house church, illustrating blatant religious persecution disguised as political control. We dissect how the CCP justifies suppressing "harmful" ideologies—like Christianity's patriarchal views on women and property—to maintain political power and internal harmony. This aggressive approach is a clear warning against Western societies giving any religion preferential treatment.

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.
