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.News Source:China Arrests 30 Christians at Unsanctioned Zion ChurchBy Alicia Rahman Sarkar for The IndependenceOctober 16th, 2025

We dive into the absurdity of religious outrage when a college football player dared to warm up during a pregame prayer at a rival's stadium. This bizarre controversy highlights the insecurity of fundamentalist groups that demand forced reverence from outsiders, revealing classic in-group/out-group boundary defense and intense religious virtue signaling.

Ever since he was a young child—when he first realized he was one day going to die—Matthew Alper set himself upon a life quest to ascertain whether or not there exists a spiritual reality, a God. Was he merely a flesh and bone mortal or something more, something that perhaps transcended his purely physical being? After receiving a BA in Philosophy, Matthew continued his unconventional journey working as everything from a photographer's assistant in NYC, an electrician in England, a 5th grade and High School history teacher in Brooklyn, a truck smuggler in Central Africa, and a produced screenwriter in Germany—all the while independently studying the breadth of the life sciences from genetics, biology, anthropology, behavioral neuroscience and more. Once his research yielded what he felt constituted a valid scientific explanation of human spirituality, he wrote, “The ‘God' Part of the Brain.” Since its initial publication in 1997, Matthew has lectured all over the United States, appeared on NBC tv, been written up in the Washington Post, appeared on numerous radio shows and is a contributor to the anthology "Neurotheology"—an emergent new science of which he is considered one of its chief founders. An outspoken member of the atheist and secular humanist movements, Matthew presently lives in Brooklyn.Contact: MatthewAlper1@aol.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-x-zone-radio-tv-show--1078348/support.Please note that all XZBN radio and/or television shows are Copyright © REL-MAR McConnell Meda Company, Niagara, Ontario, Canada – www.rel-mar.com.

Yesterday I learned that William Lane Craig is an atheist. I was very saddened to learn that Craig has lost his faith. According to Time Magazine, Craig is one of the most influential living philosophers. As many of you know, Craig is also one of the most influential living evangelists. So today, unfortunately, we need to talk about Craig's atheism. CreditsHost: R.T. Mullins (PhD, University of St Andrews; Dr. Habil.

A deadly attack struck the Heaton Park Hebrew Congregation Synagogue on Yom Kippur, leaving two dead and the Jewish community in terror. This act of religious violence, perpetrated by a planned cell of terrorists, highlights the failure of faith to protect its adherents, forcing them to rely on armed security rather than divine intervention. Hosts explore the bitter irony of communities seeking safety in conflict zones like Israel and criticize the deep historical roots of religious hatred, noting how ancient mythological conflicts—including narratives of genocide in the Torah—continue to fuel modern, global sectarian warfare. The segment concludes that without religion, these perpetual conflicts would cease, underscoring the dangers of mixing religious beliefs with governance.News Source:Manchester Jewish community reeling after deadly attackBy Ivana Kotosova for CNNOctober 3rd, 2025

Atheism is often pointed out as a religion, and in many ways, the obsession with health and wellness has become its own secular form of legalism. Ray, E.Z., Mark, and Oscar remind listeners that while bodily exercise is valuable, it can easily become idolatry if it replaces worship of the Lord. Gluttony has long been a silent sin, rarely addressed in churches, yet food can just as easily become an idol as the pursuit of beauty or fitness. The guys emphasize the need for balance: a pastor should not be marked by obvious gluttony, but at the same time, believers must avoid falling into the opposite extremes. Humans are wired to worship—so the question is, what or who are you worshiping?There is nothing wrong with caring for the body, but when the motive is self-glorification rather than glorifying God, the line has been crossed. Historically, Christians have been known for fasting, generosity, and blessing others, rather than being consumed by self-care. When self-care becomes an idol, it often reveals a fear of death and a desire to earn immortality. The truth is that the outer man is wasting away, and eternal life is found only in Christ. Motivation determines whether health is pursued as an idol or as stewardship of the temple of the Holy Spirit. Oscar shares that he lifts weights to maintain strength and longevity, aiming to serve God and his family well as he ages. E.Z. adds that part of his drive is to avoid becoming a burden to his children and to maximize his impact for the Lord.The wellness industry has grown worldwide, but combining wellness practices with paganism introduces another possible danger. Practices like meditation or yoga often promise salvation through Eastern philosophies, but they are just another form of legalism that cannot defeat death. Eternal youth is a false hope; eternal glory in Christ is the true answer. Believers should desire to live fully until they die, striving to honor God with their bodies.The guys emphasize the practical benefits of activity, pointing out that humans were not made for a sedentary life in front of screens. Exercising strengthens both body and mind, and tackling tough challenges builds confidence and resilience. At the same time, they warn against being judgmental toward others who practice moderation. Rest, too, is part of God's design, and the Sabbath reminds believers that they are not machines defined solely by their productivity. Ultimately, the message is simple: avoid gluttony and laziness, reject the idolization of beauty, view health as stewardship, and above all, love God with all your heart, soul, mind, and strength.Send us a textThanks for listening!

Finding local atheist community is nerve-wracking for new non-believers who fear rejection and marginalization from friends, family, and society. The pervasive "Christonormativity" or "Theo-normativity" makes atheists feel inherently "weird" for simply existing, which fuels widespread fear despite modern communication tools. Straight white men are often more likely to adopt the atheist label, while women and people of color face compounded isolation, fearing negative "second and third order effects". Building small, local tribes through efforts like charity work is vital to combat the perception that atheists are uncaring. Ultimately, the goal is reaching a secular world where non-belief is viewed as just as natural as not being racist".  News Source: Kristina Lee: Building Atheist Community By Robert Bernstein for Ed Hat Santa Barbara September 22nd, 2025

A judge in Canada has finally affirmed that church law is not the law of the land, ruling that a sexual misconduct lawsuit against a high-ranking priest must proceed in civil court, rejecting the defense's attempt to shunt the case into an uncompensated internal canonical court. This ruling is a crucial step toward demanding external oversight and accountability for an institution known for protecting its abusers over victims. The system relies on the assumption of religious infallibility and years of delay (like the decade this case took to reach civil court). Civil courts must enforce that no institution is above the law when lives are at stake.News Source: Rosica abuse lawsuit proceeds By Gina Christian for Angelus August 12th, 2025

Morocco's theocratic monarchy claims to protect free expression, yet an activist faces jail time and denial of cancer treatment because she wore a t-shirt that said, "Allah is lesbian". This glaring contradiction exposes how religious authority uses caveats in the law to maintain control, proving that freedom of expression means nothing if the "right to offend" is stripped away. Her heroism in pointing out the system's flaws shows that where laws are unjust, speaking out is a duty, regardless of the staggering personal cost.  News Source: Moroccan woman on trial for blasphemy after wearing a shirt to that challenged religious authority By Akram Ubashir for Religious News Service August 28th, 2025

Mike highlights the different elements of irreligion, namely tempting God in words or deeds, sacrilege, and simony. He emphasizes that the sin of tempting God is easy to fall into when we are deeply troubled or afraid. Fr. Mike also spends time unpacking the many different aspects of atheism, and its impact on our world today. Today's readings are Catechism paragraphs 2118-2126.
