In this episode of The Non-Prophets, the panel tears into religious privilege, unearned trust, and how figures like Feucht weaponize martyrdom to dodge accountability.

18 JUN 2025 · After a two-year evidence review initiated by Utah’s Republican governor, the data is in: gender-affirming care for youth is safe, effective, and medically justified. But instead of embracing science, lawmakers are ignoring their own study. In this episode, The Non-Prophets take apart the hypocrisy, the religious double standards, and the real human cost of denying care. When truth is inconvenient, some choose cruelty over compassion.

13 JUN 2025 · Delaware has become the 12th U.S. state to legalize medical aid in dying. In this deeply personal episode of The Non-Prophets, the hosts discuss the hard-won passage of House Bill 140 and the dignity it affords terminally ill patients.

11 JUN 2025 · The Non-Prophets take on Texas’ latest Christian nationalist push—a bill requiring public schools to display the Ten Commandments. But Rep. James Talarico, a Christian Democrat, is having none of it. In a series of epic takedowns, Talarico grills his colleagues on their hypocrisy, biblical illiteracy, and blatant disregard for the Constitution. The hosts analyze the bill’s legal problems, political motives, and the power of standing up for real religious freedom.

9 JUN 2025 · In this episode of The Non-Prophets, the panel reacts to the alarming halt in CDC communications, with the U.S. now flying blind on public health threats. Budget cuts, mass firings, and political meddling have silenced disease alerts that once informed doctors, hospitals, and the public. The team dives into how dismantling the CDC’s outreach endangers lives, erodes trust in science, and shows contempt for evidence-based governance. It’s not about public safety—it’s about control.
