The Church of Korihor
Growing a spiritual community for godless people.
Compassionate meditation inspired by the experience of astronauts looking down on Earth from orbit.
Who is Korihor?
Korihor is a legendary martyr from The Book of Mormon.
To silence Korihor for teaching critical thinking about God, he was cursed with mutism by a wicked Christian sorcerer.
​
Stripped of his livelihood, Korihor was forced to go "house to house begging for his food". A victim of Christian greed, he was found trampled to death.​
We honor Korihor's courage to stand for reason and care in a world where no gods exist, but where we do.
​​
Creed of The Church of Korihor:​
We transform painful lives into lives worth living.
By the Light of Reason, we are all Korihor.
​
Anyone can doubt.

We Korihors aren't interested in an "easy" way.
