This week’s episode covers:
Welcome back to another episode of The Non-Prophets! This week Jason Sherwood is back in the driver’s seat joined by our veterans Laura Magee and our favorite Cartoon (2 weeks in a row) Teo El Ateo!
Segment 1 - Teachers“Grooming”Kids? Beware of God’s Sword!
For the first segment we talking about a hate preacher who is calling for the beheading of teachers he things are "grooming" children away from his idea of a god. Wow that's a bit extremist!
http://tiny.cc/hatepreacherviolence
Segment 2 - SCOTUS Tackles Football Praying Coach
Then we head to the seat of US government for a look at a supreme court case... no not Roe v. Wade. That is going to be a whole other deep dive next week. Nope, this is a high school coach who was fired for praying with his players after games at the 50 yard line.
Now, I'm no sports ball fan, but that seems a bit public.
http://tiny.cc/thelongestprayer
Segment 3 - Are Covid Curls still Lurking in our midst?
Then we crunch the numbers and wonder if we are in the middle of an invisible Covid wave? Honestly, I don't have much witty comments on this other than wash your hands and take personal responsibility!
http://tiny.cc/invisiblecovidwave
Segment 4 - A Florida Man you can be proud of!
Finally this week, we take on a Florida man story? Oh boy! No wait, it is a Florida man who is trying to use Florida's book banning law against them! Banning the bible because of it's offensive content. Sex, drugs, murders, and I hear it actually talks about an invisible sky daddy that is ok with it as long as you do it in his name. So weird!
http://tiny.cc/floridamanbanbible
Well that just about does it for this week when Praying for Bible Bans that make Preachers Prance. See you next week!

The Non-Prophets, Episode 21.16 airing Sunday, April 17 2022 featuring Secular Rarity, Kelley and Mateo Ateo
Happy zombie Jesus Day! The showers have fallen and spring has sprung. That means that your faithless Non-Prophets are stomping through the puddles of yellow journalism to bring you the hardest hitting news story… Hmmm should have phrased that better.
This week it is all about Operation Blitz. What it is, some examples, and how it is going to affect the lives of not just the faithless, but of all peoples. Including the ones it is trying to “help”. With our new segment The Blitz Report we hope to bring you more of these pushes to put religion into government.
We also look into a step in the right direction where an Alabama school district has ended school mandated prayer before each game. Or was it? Yes, but maybe no! This is likely going to be a dirty fight to go on for ages!
See you next time!

The Non-Prophets, Episode 21.15 airing Sunday, April 10 2022 Featuring Jason Sherwood, Josh Entner, and Richard Gilliver.
Jason Sherwood is back in the conductor’s chair! Everyone on the count of 1…2…3…scream for him in the comment section! He is joined by our favorite religion expert Richard Gilliver and film expert and self proclaimed cheese head Josh Enter .
Our first segment falls back for the religious Jewish community that opposes the Sunshine Protection Act. Senator Ed Markey of Massachusetts, the original cosponsor of the legislation is quoted by The Guardian as saying: “No more switching clocks, more daylight hours to spend outside after school and after work, and more smiles—that is what we get with permanent daylight saving time..” Should religion have a say if this bill passes?
Up next is Pope Watch, the pope is begging for forgiveness for Indigenous for Canada school abuses . Another apology tour for the Pope? Is this a regular thing we should expect or should one demand more accountability? WHAT SAY THEE?
We then are looking back at the establishment of the Church of the Latter Day Saints. The host gives their take on the history of the influence of the Mormon Church and Joseph Smith Ideology. Do we see a large influence on society today?
Lastly is a strange but true where the host look at the finding of the ASPCA and how they helped find a home for dog people did not want because they accused him of being gay. Yes you read that right. Goes to show that dogs are just too darn good for people. Take that cat parents!
Well that about it for this week. Go down to those comments and let Jason, Richard and Josh what you think of this week's episode below!

The Non-Prophets, Episode 21.14 airing Sunday, April 3rd 2022 featuring Secular Rarity, Genevieve, Kelley Laughlin, and Mateo el Ateo
What is this? Another first time conductor for The Non-Prophets? Secular Rarity’s check has cleared and so we gave him a new seat on the show. Everyone give him a round of applause in the comments section! He is joined by Genvieve who works closely with friend of the show Dave Warnock. There is also a return of Kelley Laughlin who is starting to be a mainstay of The Non-Prophets. Rounding out the panel is Teo el Ateo who we can ALWAYS count on to fill in.
Our first segment goes for the GOOOAAAAAALLLL of Evangelicals in Football in Brazil. For the few points in the world that might be confused, that is Soccer. Sports rituals can be an individual thing, but what happens when an institution is taken over by a god. Should religion be infused in football, or is football a religion?
Up next we follow a Saudi blogger Raif Badawi who was imprisoned for 10 years due to ‘insulting Islam’. Could you imagine it? What would happen if the rest of the world adopted that ide… (MORAL POLICE OPEN UP!!)
We then study a new poll where Americans say that they are cool with Jesus. His followers… well not so much. Could this be a turning point in ideas and politics? (flips the page) Oh… oh no… Well maybe next generation or two.
Lastly, What is the happiest place on Earth? Is it Disney? Well a survey came out about what are the happiest nations on this planet. Where does America fall in? Who comes out on top? Spoiler, the happier you are, the least likely you believe in religious teaching.
Well that about wraps it for this week. Go down to those comments and let Secular Rarity just what you think of his first time.
