"Who's the most powerful televangelist? The richest televangelist? The most popular? Here, I examine the world of televangelism in order to rank the world's top televangelists. Most manipulate vulnerable people into making them rich, some strive to gain political power, and sometimes, they actually try to preach the gospel in order to save souls. I cover Kenneth Copeland's private jets, Joel Osteen's best selling books, Benny Hinn's faith healing, and much more."
With all that is now known through science, why do we allow this to exist? All of this religious rip-off would not occur if magical thinking was marginalized by science-based thinking.
The Televangelist Tier List
Human knowledge has progressed exponentially since the dawn of modern science. It is no longer reasonable to accept claims without sufficient objective evidence. The harm from religion, alternatives to medicine, conservatism, and all other false beliefs will be exposed on this blog by reporting the findings of science. This blog will also reinforce what should be the basics of education: History, Civics, Financial Literacy, Media Literacy, and Critical/Science Based Thinking.

Multi-Level-Marketing (MLM) Is Bogus
"Are MLMs a cult? Multi-Level Marketing schemes like Lularoe, Young Living Essential Oils, Doterra, Kyani, Herbalife, and Amway are scams for sure, but are they cults? Here we cut past the success stories, the testimonies, and the how-to's in order to analyze these pyramid schemes in light of Steven Hassan's BITE model.
"The world of pseudoscience is closely tied to the MLM world, as essential oils, naturopathy, homeopathy, anti-vax/anti-vaxxers, cancer conspiracies, and all kinds of alternative medicine exist in both. Direct sales and network marketing are often little more than alt-med quackery."

Jordan Peterson Exposed
This person seems to be developing quite a following, for what reason I have no clue. From my perspective, it is all deepities:
"Jordan Peterson and Matt Dillahunty debated/discussed psychedelics, specifically magic mushrooms containing psilocybin, in a conversation hosted by Pangburn Philosophy back in May. Ultimately, Peterson cites that supernatural experiences induced by psilocybin cause smoking cessation, which in turn provides evidence of the supernatural. Matt replies, saying that science can't do that (unless you misrepresent it), and he's right."
Jordan Peterson Misrepresents Science
"Jordan Peterson fans are often fanatical, but are they a cult? In speaking out against supposed neo-Marxists and post-modernists, writing 12 Rules for Life, speaking against mainstream feminism, and launching his Biblical Series, Peterson has gained a cult-like following. Can this fan base be compared to Scientologists or Jehovah's Witnesses? Let's find out."
Are Jordan Peterson Fans a Cult?
"Jordan Peterson’s craziest claim ever didn’t come from his talk with Cathy Newman, it wasn’t in his chat with Sam Harris about truth, and it wasn’t made in conversation with Matt Dillahunty. It was in his Maps of Meaning lecture part 8 and his Biblical series. Representation of DNA? More like pseudoscience."
Jordan Peterson's Most Pseudoscientific Claim Ever
"This video answers the question: Can I offer a critique of the work of Jordan Peterson? Dr. Jordan Bernt Peterson has a Ph.D. in clinical psychology and is quite popular due to his views on politics, theology, philosophy, personality theory, and mental health. I offer my opinions in terms of the positives and negatives of his work and examine some of the more common criticisms of Jordan Peterson."

Christians: Listen To Us, Not What Others Are Saying About Us
"Many theists believe and tell several lies about atheists, sometimes out of ignorance, and sometimes out of malice. Five of the lies I tackle here are that atheists lose faith because of hardship, atheists who deconverted were never true believers, atheists have never studied X religion, there are no atheists in foxholes, and that atheists secretly believe in god. Religious media loves to propagate all these falsehoods (I'm looking at you Pureflix's God's Not Dead and CBS' God Friended Me). For those believers who will listen, it only takes 10 minutes with a calm, friendly atheist to explain why all of these statements are false. That's why I'm here.
"These false statements confuse a lot of people about why atheists don't believe in God, whether atheists can be good people, or if atheists are educated about religion. To further the conversation, we've got to put these to bed.

Personal Experience Debunked
"I'm an atheist, but I've personally experienced God in the same way that many religious people have. I left Christianity and my "personal relationship with Jesus Christ" a while back even though I had those experiences, and I think I have good reasons for that. The argument from personal experience is thrown at me often, so I wanted to have this on the record, as well as explain why personal experience isn't evidence for god."

Alternative Medicine Claims Debunked
"Alternative medicine proponents argue for their viewpoints in similar ways to religious apologists. Their arguments are just as ill-informed and irrational as any religious fundamentalist’s. So, debunking them takes little more than basic critical thinking skills and a little understanding of how drugs are researched and regulated. Naturopathy is pseudoscience, essential oils don’t work, homeopathy is a scam, the supplement industry is bogus, and the terrible arguments their proponents present are definitely no help."

Insight Into How Atheists Raise Their Children
"How do atheists teach their children? Do atheist parents teach their kids that there is no god? I spoke with two of the directors of Camp Quest Texas, David and Jamye, about how they, as atheist parents and teachers, teach children. We also discuss how we can raise the next generation free of dogma."
