A massive Texas mega-church leader, once an advisor to high political office, has finally pleaded guilty to decades of child sexual abuse, beginning when his victim was just 12. This disturbing case exposes how religious authority shields predators, delaying justice for decades until the victim's bravery forces accountability. Despite the guilty plea, the perpetrator's short sentence highlights the profound inadequacy of punishment versus the lifetime of trauma inflicted. We discuss the persistent hypocrisy of self-proclaimed moral figures and why institutions must loudly distance themselves from those who weaponize faith for predation.

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.
