Invitation to join us in Uniting The Cults

“The world will not be destroyed by those who do evil, but by those who watch them without doing anything.” ― Albert Einstein

Exmuslims in many countries fear for their safety due to apostasy laws. And this isn't going to change without good people like you and me making it happen.

For this reason I believe it is my responsibility and the responsibility of anyone who is capable to work toward a future without apostasy laws.

With that said, I invite you to join me in my pursuit.

My vision is of a world where people recognize love as the goal and rationality as the method to achieve it.

'Uniting The Cults' is a non-profit to rid the world of apostasy laws and here's what we plan to do about it:
  1. Focus on the obstacles to reaching our goal, including working with other people with projects tackling the same obstacles we face. Like social media censorship.

  2. Be an agent of cultural change regarding apostasy laws, and human rights more generally (for example, I'll be podcasting/livestreaming about these issues).
  3. Help people struggling with Islam (and similar things).

Why the name 'Uniting The Cults'?

Any group is a cult to the extent that its members do cult behaviors.

For example, many universities will fire a professor if they don't share the university's views on certain things. This is what cults do in order to discourage disobedience. And it's obviously anti-scientific.

Richard Feynman coined the term Cargo-Culting to refer to the act of doing what looks like science but is actually pseudo-science. He said even physicists are making this mistake. He dedicated his entire 1974 Caltech commencement speech to this topic. He titled it Cargo-Cult Science. You can read it here or watch it here. And he presented this as a problem, which clearly lays out the framework of the solution. Here's my answer to Feynman's speech -- The Scientific Approach to Anything and Everything.

So join me in uniting the cults as we create a united world governed by scientific thinking.

We need your help!

Do a meeting with me to be published on the UTC podcast for the purpose of figuring out how you can help us. The idea is to establish where we have a need that you can fill with your abilities. Contact me here.

Join our subreddit (r/UnitingTheCults) where we're updating people on the progress of our projects.

Everybody has a child inside. Please remember that when talking with people. We all deserve kindness. If you see someone get angry, ask yourself why they might be angry. Life sucks for a lot of people a lot of the time. It's understandable that we will get angry sometimes. What we need in these times is kindness from others. So please be kind to everyone -- and remember that that includes you!
