Raelian Movement: Recognizing Slavery as a Crime Against Humanity Implies a Legitimate Right to Reparations
Fort-de-France, Martinique — April 20, 2026 — Following a proposal put forward by the President of Ghana, John Mahama, the United Nations General Assembly adopted, on March 25, 2026, a resolution recognizing the transatlantic slave trade of Africans as the “most serious crime against humanity.” The International Raelian Movement commends Ghana for its courage in advancing this historic initiative, marking a major step forward in acknowledging one of the greatest tragedies in human history.
Adopted by 123 states, the resolution represents a significant milestone, despite opposition from the United States, Israel, and Argentina, as well as the abstention of 52 countries, primarily European, several of which directly benefited from this system for more than four centuries.
For the Raelian Movement, this recognition must now lead to concrete reparative justice. “Recognizing a crime against humanity necessarily implies a legitimate right to reparations for the descendants of its victims,” stated Dr. Yoshaïe Kanta, Raelian guide and representative of the Back to Kama* (BTK) organization for the Caribbean.
As early as 2001, Rael, founder and spiritual leader of the International Raelian Movement, declared:
“Crimes against humanity are not subject to a statute of limitations. The crimes of those who killed hundreds of thousands of Africans and enslaved millions of others clearly constitute a crime against humanity. It is unacceptable that Germany continues to pay compensation to the descendants of Jewish victims of Nazism while Africans have no such rights. Individuals, institutions, and nations that built their wealth on the abhorrent practice of slavery have a moral and human obligation to compensate the descendants of the victims.” (Source: www.raelafrica.org)
According to the Movement’s representatives, reparations must be approached in a comprehensive and inclusive manner, benefiting both the descendants of Africans deported to the Americas and the Caribbean, and those who remained on the African continent, who were likewise affected by the lasting consequences of slavery, colonization, and neo-colonization.
Beyond financial compensation, the Movement emphasizes the need for cultural, historical, and psychological repair. “Repair also means healing minds, restoring memory, and rebuilding pride and self-awareness,” said Dr. Gbedia Dodo, head of the BTK project.
The Raelian Movement reaffirms its commitment to the “3 Rs”: Recognition, Reparation, and Reconciliation—the only path toward lasting peace grounded in truth and justice. The Back to Kama initiative (www.backtokama.org), launched in 2009 by Maitreya Rael, calls on people of African descent in the diaspora to reconnect with their roots and actively contribute to the development of the African continent.

The Raelian Movement condemns the introduction of the death penalty in Israel and recalls the Sixth Commandment “THOU SHALT NOT KILL”
Paris, April 15, 2026 — The Raelian Movement expresses its deep indignation and strongly condemns the adoption, on March 30, 2026, of a law introducing the death penalty for acts of terrorism in Israel. Passed in its final reading by 62 votes to 48, in the presence of Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu, this measure constitutes a serious violation of the fundamental principle of respect for human life.
“It is profoundly paradoxical that a state defining itself as ‘Jewish’ would adopt a law that contradicts one of the most sacred principles of the Torah: Al Tirtzah—‘Thou shalt not kill,’” stated Léon Mellul, Raelian Grand Rabbi and spokesperson for Mashiach Rael. “This commandment is not merely a moral guideline; it affirms the sacred and inviolable nature of human life. To claim the right to take life in the name of security is to place oneself above this fundamental principle.”
In Jewish tradition, Israel is called to be Or LaGoyim, a light unto the nations. This calling implies greater justice, compassion, and moral responsibility—not privilege. As Mellul emphasizes, “Election has never been a privilege, but a higher moral requirement,” implying greater compassion, never greater violence.
The Talmud itself teaches that a Sanhedrin that issued a death sentence even once in seventy years was considered “murderous.” Mellul notes that this historical reference underscores how the death penalty was meant to remain an almost nonexistent exception—“seventy years, not seventy hours of parliamentary debate”—and not become a political tool.
The Raelian Movement also denounces the discriminatory nature of this law, which applies de facto almost exclusively to Palestinians and extends to territories occupied since 1967, raising serious concerns regarding its compliance with international law. “Seeing political leaders celebrate the introduction of death as an instrument of the state is deeply shocking,” Mellul added.
Beyond legal and political considerations, the Raelian Movement recalls a fundamental truth: humanity forms one single body, of which each human being is a cell. To destroy one life is to weaken the whole. “Even if we were told that one man must be killed to save all humanity, we should never do it. It is precisely by respecting every life that humanity saves itself,” concluded the Grand Rabbi.
The Raelian Movement finally calls on Israeli authorities to reconsider this decision and urges the international community—governments, human rights organizations, and religious institutions—to intensify efforts to abolish the death penalty worldwide.

Raelians Celebrate International Happiness Day by Promoting Laughter as a Path to Peace
Tokyo, March 17, 2026 — On March 20, Raelians will celebrate Happiness Day with even more fervor than ever.
In a recent address, Rael, spiritual leader of the Raelian Movement,
reminded us that “We should be laughing constantly. We are born to laugh.”
He added, “You shouldn’t be sorry for laughing, but you should be sorry
for being serious! Laughing is becoming like the Elohim—the scientists
who created us. The Elohim are laughing all the time, and they were
laughing when they created us.”
Rael explains that many of today’s conflicts arise from a complete
betrayal of the teachings of the prophets. He notes that certain
interpretations of Jewish scriptures promote the idea that the country
of Israel must be attacked by the whole world so that the Messiah can
guide the Jewish people and their God can intervene to save them in a
final battle. Some fundamentalist Christians hold a similar belief,
envisioning a worldwide conflict that will bring back Jesus and ensure
victory for Christians. Some Muslims also hold comparable apocalyptic
interpretations.
According to Rael, representatives of monotheistic religions are
actively promoting a war agenda at the highest levels, in complete
betrayal of the original teachings of their prophets.
He says that the mission of the Raelians is to restore the true
narrative of what these prophets taught. They all spoke about love,
respect for life, respect for our Creators, and the importance of
enjoying every second of the life that was given to us—values that Rael
has been teaching for 52 years through the yearly Happiness Academies he
conducts.
Rael concluded, “Train yourself so that your last breath may be taken
while laughing. Train yourself every day and never hide your happiness.
Happiness and laughter are contagious. Be the one who triggers laughter
in others. Initiate this contagion of laughter to counter the infection
of seriousness.”
“Spreading love—that’s what we do as Raelians. Spreading love means
spreading laughter. When people are laughing, they don’t want to kill
other people. When you are happy, you don’t want to kill other people.
Happiness is the only solution to save humanity because it brings love.”
Join Raelians in the streets or at one of their many activities on March
20—and every day—because Happiness Day should be celebrated every day.

The Raelian Movement Supports Pedro Sánchez’s Speech Against War and Calls for Reform of Electoral Systems
Madrid, March 2026 — The Raelian Movement has expressed its firm support for the position taken by the President of the Spanish Government, Pedro Sánchez, who has spoken out against the escalation of war in the Middle East and against Iran’s involvement in a new conflict.
At a time when warlike rhetoric too often seems to prevail over reason, Sánchez’s words appear as a voice of wisdom that Europe should adopt as its political compass. Calling on the international community to remain consistent, the Spanish leader declared: “We cannot be accused of applying double standards: we cannot defend international law in Ukraine and remain silent in the face of what is happening in the Middle East. Peace must be one and the same, founded on the dignity of every human being.”
Princess Loona, spokesperson of the Raelian Movement for Europe, welcomed this vision of consistency and universal justice, recalling that at the heart of Raelian philosophy lies a fundamental principle: “The life of a single innocent human being is more important than the life of all humanity.”
“This value is absolute: even if the survival of the human species depended on the sacrifice of a single innocent individual, that person should not be killed,” she declared. “Life is the supreme good, the result of the scientific creation of the Elohim—an extraterrestrial civilization described in the Bible—and it cannot be sacrificed for any ideology or any nation.”
The spokesperson also warned that the current conflict could spread to other nations, bringing humanity dangerously closer to the specter of nuclear war.
She further criticized current political systems:
“The dramatic situations we are witnessing today are not accidents along the way, but the direct result of decisions made by democratically elected leaders. Supporters of what we call ‘wild democracy’—the system of universal suffrage—should recognize that such tragic scenarios are the product of the system they defend. If they refuse to accept these consequences, they must have the courage to question the entire electoral systems that allow inadequate leaders to determine the destiny of the planet.”
To move beyond this impasse, Princess Loona pointed to the path proposed by Rael, founder and spiritual leader of the International Raelian Movement, in his book Geniocracy. According to the Raelian Movement, the current political system has become obsolete and dangerous. It proposes moving beyond the “democracy of numbers” to establish a model based on intelligence and love, in which the right to vote and to be elected would depend on individuals’ genuine cognitive and empathetic abilities.
According to the spokesperson, Pedro Sánchez’s clear opposition to war demonstrates precisely the type of intelligence that Geniocracy seeks to promote as the standard for governance.
In conclusion, Princess Loona called on the European Union to support Pedro Sánchez’s position, to put an end to the logic of military intervention, and to open a serious debate on the geniocratic model of governance proposed by Rael as a means of preventing humanity’s self-destruction.

Raelian Movement and International Coalition Submit Historic Proposal to President Trump’s Board of Peace for Extraterrestrial Embassy in Gaza
Washington, D.C. / Geneva — An international coalition of scientists and civil society organizations has formally submitted a groundbreaking proposal to the Board of Peace—chaired by President Donald J. Trump—advocating for the creation of an Embassy of Peace for Extraterrestrial Relations in Gaza. The proposal forms part of a long-term vision for regional reconstruction and sustainable peace.
The initiative is endorsed by over 250 scientists and 36 organizations, including the International Raelian Movement, which represents nearly 2.2 million members worldwide. Supporters believe that Gaza—long marked by conflict and humanitarian crises—can become a global symbol of peace, diplomacy, and planetary renewal.
“Decades of conflict have proven that security cannot exist without dignity, stability, and hope,” said Léon Mellul, Raelian Chief Rabbi and spokesperson. “Temporary ceasefires and fragmented aid efforts have failed. What we need now is a civilizational project—a comprehensive initiative grounded in peace, governance, and economic revival.”
Building upon President Trump’s recent remarks envisioning Gaza as the “Riviera of the Middle East,” the coalition argues that hosting an internationally recognized diplomatic institution would attract billions in tourism, generate significant employment, and position Gaza as a spiritual and cultural capital with unprecedented global visibility.
At the heart of the proposal is the establishment of a neutral, internationally governed site dedicated to preparing for and managing potential future contact with non-terrestrial intelligence. Proponents emphasize that this is a preventive and stabilizing initiative, focused on transparency, coordination, and peaceful engagement—as an alternative to panic or militarized responses.
The proposal further calls for the adoption of an Optional Protocol to the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations (1961)—to establish a legal framework for Embassies for Extraterrestrial Civilizations. This protocol would adapt existing diplomatic principles to unprecedented interstellar contexts, while safeguarding international law, security, and public trust.
Led by the Raelian Movement, the coalition is also calling for an International Summit in Gaza to deliberate on, adopt, and eventually ratify this Optional Protocol—marking a historic first in humanity’s diplomatic readiness.
“Supporters believe that the Board of Peace is uniquely positioned to champion this visionary initiative,” concluded Mellul. “This is an opportunity to show the world that humanity is ready—to face both present conflicts and future unknowns with wisdom, restraint, and unity.”

Vatican Denies Women the Diaconate: The Raelian Movement Condemns Ruling, Stands with unfairly Excluded Women
Rome, December 15, 2025 — Last December 4th, the Catholic Church once again confirmed how disconnected its doctrine is from the real world. With the Petrocchi Commission's ruling, the Vatican definitively declared that women cannot access the ordained diaconate. This decision demonstrates a stubborn determination to uphold a male-dominated power structure.
"The irony is that this decision is presented as a choice of fidelity to tradition, when history confirms the exact opposite," says Marco Franceschini, national director of the Raelian Movement. "In fact, the first Christian communities employed deaconesses, women who performed real, not symbolic, ministerial functions. And historical research continues to uncover far more significant female roles than the Vatican admits.”
All this is happening at a time when institutions at all levels are recognizing the need to overcome patriarchal models, which often lead to violence. Evidently, the Catholic hierarchy prefers to remain entrenched in its archaic positions and perpetuate the oppression of one gender over the other.
"Within the Raelian Movement, it is not only perfectly normal but desirable to see women accessing the highest roles and holding positions equivalent to those of priests and bishops," Franceschini emphasizes. "Far from being inferior individuals subject to male authority, women bring those values generally inherent to the feminine experience, such as refinement, kindness, empathy, compassion, and listening, which constitute the most powerful deterrent to violence. In a world where human aggression toward one another and the environment has seriously threatened the very survival of humanity itself, sharing these values and elevating women to the top of society becomes a matter of absolute priority. In this sense, the contrast between our position and the blind Catholic view is so stark as to be laughable.”
In today's world, no form of discrimination can be accepted, much less normalized in the name of a false tradition. "We encourage Catholic and Christian women who wish to reclaim their dignity to abandon this outdated institution that relegates them to an inferior status," urges Franceschini. "If they wish to reclaim their place in the world and contribute to making this planet a place of peace and happiness, embracing a spiritual and scientific philosophy in perfect harmony with the current era, they are welcome within the Raelian Movement.”

3I/ATLAS: Comet or Contact? Raelian Scientist says humanity is unprepared either way
New York, November 24, 2025 — As the mysterious interstellar object 3I/ATLAS hurtles toward Earth, speculation is mounting: is it merely a comet or something more? Dr. Marcus Wenner, neuroscientist and Raelian Bishop, offers a provocative assessment: “Whether 3I/ATLAS is a natural object or an intelligent probe, it forces us to confront a deeper question: ‘Are we truly prepared for contact with an extraterrestrial civilization?’ Because right now, quite frankly, we’ve been caught with our pants down.”
Wenner emphasized that any civilization capable of interstellar travel would, by necessity, have transcended violence. “If they were aggressive, they would have self-destructed long ago, just as we risk doing now with our own nuclear capabilities. The very fact that they might have made it here suggests they value peace, wisdom, and cooperation over conquest.”
Yet peaceful intent does not eliminate the issue of unpreparedness. “Even if 3I/ATLAS poses no threat, it highlights the troubling reality that we have no global framework, no diplomatic mechanisms, and no unified scientific infrastructure ready to receive a civilization that will almost certainly think and behave in radically unfamiliar ways,” Wenner continued.
According to Daniel Turcotte, Director General of the Embassy for Extraterrestrials Project, the stakes are unprecedented. “The arrival of an extraterrestrial civilization would represent the most profound event in human history. We must prepare a diplomatic framework rooted in peace and universal respect to receive such visitors,” he stated. He also reiterated that the Embassy Project is not science fiction, but a pragmatic and peaceful initiative, and the only responsible path forward.
Wenner also raised concerns about human fear and bias, citing our failure to manage even intra-human differences. “If we still fight over skin color and religious dogma, how can we possibly welcome beings who might not even wear clothes, believe in gods, or form nuclear families?” In such a context, the risk of global panic or even military escalation looms large. “If an unidentified object enters our airspace, do we greet it with diplomacy or with missiles?”
As for the Embassy Project, momentum is building with active discussions already underway with several governments about co-hosting an international conference on extraterrestrial diplomacy. “This would serve as the platform to introduce an optional protocol to the Vienna Convention,” said Turcotte, “a vital step in legitimizing peaceful interplanetary contact under international law.”
“When one courageous nation steps forward,” Turcotte concluded, “it will mark a historic diplomatic milestone--one that opens the door not only to contact, but to a new era of planetary unity and cosmic dialogue.”

International SexEd Day: The Raelian Movement celebrates 11 Years of advocacy for Sexuality Education as a fundamental Human Right
Geneva, November 20, 2025 — Marking the 11th edition of International SexEd Day, the Raelian Movement renews its global call for a bold and truly transformative vision of Comprehensive Sexuality Education (CSE). Far more than a program aimed at disease prevention or moral restriction, the Raelian philosophy considers CSE an essential human right — a right rooted in pleasure, knowledge, and personal fulfillment.
“In a world confronted with sexual violence, massive digital misinformation, growing social inequalities, and persistent traditions rooted in guilt and shame, it has never been more urgent to offer young people an education that affirms life, celebrates diversity, and fosters autonomy,” said Clémence Linard, M.A.Ed, spokesperson for International SexEd Day.
Recent international research reinforces this need. A large meta-analysis of 34 global studies conducted between 2011 and 2023—covering more than 30,000 young people—demonstrated that CSE is highly effective in improving cognition, decision-making, and emotional well-being. According to the authors, long-term, consistent sexuality education not only increases knowledge but also delays risky behaviors and reduces unintended pregnancies: “If children and adolescents receive coherent and sustained CSE, their present and future health and well-being are positively transformed.”
Similarly, a 2024 editorial in Frontiers in Reproductive Health emphasized that sexuality education must move beyond fear‑ or shame‑based approaches: “Evidence‑based, pleasure‑inclusive sexuality education is not a luxury — it is a human right.”
These findings resonate profoundly with the Raelian vision, in which sexuality education must be spiritually uplifting and firmly grounded in scientific truth. Linard highlights this essential dimension: “Young people have the right to be educated about pleasure, not only about risk prevention. CSE is about building the foundations needed to know oneself, to love oneself, and to respect others.”
“What is revolutionary in the Raelian approach is that it restores pleasure to its central role — a body‑mind harmony aligned with science, not shame,” she added.
Yet, despite growing evidence, resistance remains strong. The original UNESCO report on sexuality education, published in 2009 — remarkable for its defense of human rights in sexuality and its inclusion of the concept of pleasure — was quietly modified under pressure from religious lobbies, especially Catholic groups. These same lobbies continue to act today, particularly in France, where they conduct aggressive disinformation campaigns aimed at undermining young people’s rights and distorting the very meaning of CSE.
“For years, the Raelian Movement has urged UNESCO to republish the full, uncensored version of this report, out of respect for transparency, scientific integrity, and youth empowerment,” Linard noted. “No regressive religious or political pressure should ever influence science or research — and this is especially true for sexuality and education. An international institution like UNESCO must remain secular and impervious to all forms of religious influence.”
“In the digital age, where young people increasingly learn about sexuality online, these studies highlight the importance of meeting them where they are — not with fear or censorship, but with true digital literacy: critical thinking, media understanding, self-awareness, and joy. These findings reinforce the Raelian conviction that young people are not passive recipients but active seekers of truth, pleasure, and connection,” the spokesperson continued.
As Raël, the spiritual leader of the Raelian Movement, reminds us: “Children are sexual beings from birth — even before! Sexuality education simply prevents them from developing guilt about their own sexuality.”
“On this 11th International SexEd Day, we reaffirm the fundamental right of every child, adolescent, and adult to receive sexuality education that is honest, inclusive, liberating, and pleasure‑affirming. The Raelian Movement maintains that true peace begins with fulfilled individuals — and fulfillment begins with an education rooted in love, science, and pleasure,” concluded Clémence Linard.

“In a world confronted with sexual violence, massive digital misinformation, growing social inequalities, and persistent traditions rooted in guilt and shame, it has never been more urgent to offer young people an education that affirms life, celebrates diversity, and fosters autonomy,” said Clémence Linard, M.A.Ed, spokesperson for International SexEd Day.
Recent international research reinforces this need. A large meta-analysis of 34 global studies conducted between 2011 and 2023—covering more than 30,000 young people—demonstrated that CSE is highly effective in improving cognition, decision-making, and emotional well-being. According to the authors, long-term, consistent sexuality education not only increases knowledge but also delays risky behaviors and reduces unintended pregnancies: “If children and adolescents receive coherent and sustained CSE, their present and future health and well-being are positively transformed.”
Similarly, a 2024 editorial in Frontiers in Reproductive Health emphasized that sexuality education must move beyond fear‑ or shame‑based approaches: “Evidence‑based, pleasure‑inclusive sexuality education is not a luxury — it is a human right.”
These findings resonate profoundly with the Raelian vision, in which sexuality education must be spiritually uplifting and firmly grounded in scientific truth. Linard highlights this essential dimension: “Young people have the right to be educated about pleasure, not only about risk prevention. CSE is about building the foundations needed to know oneself, to love oneself, and to respect others.”
“What is revolutionary in the Raelian approach is that it restores pleasure to its central role — a body‑mind harmony aligned with science, not shame,” she added.
Yet, despite growing evidence, resistance remains strong. The original UNESCO report on sexuality education, published in 2009 — remarkable for its defense of human rights in sexuality and its inclusion of the concept of pleasure — was quietly modified under pressure from religious lobbies, especially Catholic groups. These same lobbies continue to act today, particularly in France, where they conduct aggressive disinformation campaigns aimed at undermining young people’s rights and distorting the very meaning of CSE.
“For years, the Raelian Movement has urged UNESCO to republish the full, uncensored version of this report, out of respect for transparency, scientific integrity, and youth empowerment,” Linard noted. “No regressive religious or political pressure should ever influence science or research — and this is especially true for sexuality and education. An international institution like UNESCO must remain secular and impervious to all forms of religious influence.”

A Nation Signs a Historic Memorandum of Collaboration with the Raelian Movement to Prepare an Embassy for Extraterrestrials!
New York, USA — The Raelian Movement proudly announces a historic breakthrough in humanity’s journey toward its long-awaited reunion with the Elohim, the advanced extraterrestrial civilization introduced in the Raelian Messages. For the first time in recorded history, a national government—whose identity remains confidential for the time being—has signed a Memorandum of Collaboration with the Raelian Movement to explore the creation of an Embassy for Extraterrestrials.
This bold and unprecedented act represents the first official step by any sovereign nation toward welcoming the Creators of humanity back to Earth with peace, respect, and dignity.
“This is a historic day for humanity,” declared Daniel Turcotte, spokesperson for the Raelian Movement and Director General of the Embassy for Extraterrestrials Project.
“A nation has finally shown the courage and vision to prepare for the return of the Elohim—advanced extraterrestrial scientists who created all life on Earth. This collaboration shines as a beacon of hope, peace, and scientific enlightenment.”
The newly signed Memorandum outlines a collaborative framework, including the objectives of the partnership, defined roles and responsibilities, principles of cooperation, and a timeline for exploratory work. Both parties—the government and the International Raelian Movement—have expressed a shared commitment to formalizing discussions, assessing feasibility, and laying the groundwork for this unprecedented initiative.
Raël, spiritual leader of the Raelian Movement for over 50 years, reaffirmed the project’s peaceful intent: “They are not invaders. It is up to us to invite them—and our invitation is the Embassy. Without the neutrality of an Embassy, an unannounced and undesired landing would have enormous political, economic, and social repercussions!”
With this visionary move, this nation becomes the first on Earth to officially explore hosting the Embassy—conceived as a neutral, peaceful, scientific, and diplomatic bridge between humanity and the Elohim.
This marks the beginning of a new chapter for our planet—one fully aligned with the Raelian Movement’s mission to build a world inspired by love, science, respect, and unity.

Rael Rainbow Team praises Marc Miller’s courage and calls for an end to hate speech
Victoriaville, October 31, 2025
The Rael Rainbow Team (link: https://linktr.ee/raelrainbowteam), a movement promoting universal love, freedom, and respect for human diversity applauds the courage of Marc Miller, Canada’s Minister of Immigration, who publicly denounced passages in the Bible that incite hatred toward LGBTQ+ people.
“Leviticus, Deuteronomy, Romans… so many chapters are hateful toward LGBTQ+ people.”
– Marc Miller
According to Denise Desrochers, head of the Rael Rainbow Team in Canada, “the minister’s message resonates deeply with the values of Raelian philosophy, which affirms that every human being is a unique and precious creation, free to love according to his or her nature. No ancient text should justify fear, shame, or exclusion.”
Passages from Leviticus, for example, have long been used to justify discrimination, and even violence, against homosexual people.
Among the texts covered: Old Testament
• Leviticus 18:22 — “You shall not lie with a male as with a female. It is an abomination.”
• Leviticus 20:13 — “If a man lies with a male as with a female, both of them have committed an abomination; they shall be put to death.”
“For too long, rigid religious interpretations have hurt millions of people by denying the beauty of their identity, adds Ms. Desrochers. By reminding us of the need for an enlightened and compassionate reading, Marc Miller invites society to take a step toward spiritual and moral maturity.”
Prophet Rael, founder of the Rael Rainbow Team, teaches that “love is the highest form of intelligence“. By recognizing sexual and gender diversity as a treasure of creation, we are building a world where tolerance and joy replace judgment.
“I am in favor of creating a committee to censor religious writings around the world […] It is unacceptable that there are religious movements on Earth whose writings encourage discrimination, violence, and unconsciousness.
The religion of human beings should be Human Rights, and no religion should be allowed to escape this.“
— Maitreya Rael, Étincelle d’éveil – Montreal, 1994
The Rael Rainbow Team calls on all religious and political leaders to reinterpret ancient texts in the light of science, knowledge, and respect for life.
Love is the only true religion.
