Welcome to the Official Site of Bishop Ray Taylor, Ph.D.
Scholar. Truth Speaker. System Breaker.
Veritas Lux Mea — Truth Is My Light

This is not your average religious studies site. This is not a place for feel-good myths or polite lies. This is where the illusions die.
Here, you will find the raw, unfiltered scholarship of Bishop Ray Taylor, Doctor of Religious Studies, trained in theology, ancient languages, biblical archaeology, and spiritual psychology. Over 30 years of research have forged a voice that does not flinch from the truth.

I am not here to feed your fantasies. I am here to expose the parasite gods, unmask the lies of organized religion, and strip down every falsehood that has enslaved minds for millennia. My work challenges the roots of Judaism, Christianity, Islam, Zionism, and every empire that has weaponized belief. I speak for the sovereign soul, not the church. I speak for those who refuse to kneel.
