Welcome to the official author website of non-partisan Thinker, Human Rights Scholar, Logician and (Eastern and Western-trained) Christian Theologian and Ecumenist William Baptiste, the author of The Foundational Principles of Human Rights and Democracy (Plus 10 Core Principles of Lasting Democracy) and the author of The Common Creed of Christianity: Reintroducing Christianity to Western Civilization Built on It “So That the World May Believe” (10 Articles of Common, Traditional Christian Faith to Help Christians of All Traditions Work Together to Successfully Engage the Secularized Culture Which Has Forgotten that Human Rights and Science Itself Depend Historically and Logically upon Biblical, Judeo-Christian Principles – As Well As Eternal Life!).
Both of these relatively short conclusions of decades of deep thinking by a thoughtful intelligence (highlighted on this website) deserve to be the subjects of societal dialogue (email feedback to Dialogue@WilliamBaptiste.com) in the hopes of making the world a better and safer place for future centuries, built on firm foundations – against the current worsening trends of “Creeping Totalitarianism,” by which William Baptiste in his country can be arrested and jailed under current laws just for peacefully saying “Killing humans is wrong because Human Rights are for all humans” where it is most pertinent to do so (near legal human-killing by abortion clinics); and others in his country have been jailed just for speaking scientifically verifiable facts against current unscientific ideologies supported by governments which follow unscientific Philosophical Relativism instead of the Philosophical Realism which is the very foundation of Science and Technology. Against Science’s Realistic foundations, too many political parties are now following Relativistic Neo-Marxist “Identity Politics” with its attendant “Cancel Culture” that seeks to end Free Speech against Relativism’s absurdities, Free Speech which is a hallmark of Free Democracy (see William Baptiste’s book Realism Versus Relativism: The Philosophical Incompatibility Underlying Today’s Polarized Politics).
All of this has happened because Western Civilization, which for many centuries proudly called itself Western Christian Civilization, has gradually rejected its deep Christian heritage which (as William Baptiste’s books show) include the very foundations of modern Human Rights and Democracy and even include the philosophical foundations of Science itself! (which is why unscientific ideologies now have have so much political sway against even Common Sense which has the same philosophical foundations as Science). Thus the lack of proper respect for these ultimately Christian origins of everything we like best about Western Civilization (our freedom and our technology) is causing us to LOSE normal Human Rights and freedoms and LOSE Scientific and Medical integrity at least since 2015 when a doctor’s group in his country’s capital invited William Baptiste to speak about unacceptable government encroachment on the medical profession (long before the global gross mishandling of the 2020 Coronavirus Pandemic gave the world just a taste of how badly normal freedoms and rights can be compromised; and just a taste of how badly tens of thousands of highly qualified scientific and medical professionals who disagree with government-overreaching ideologues can be ignored – because of the general lack of understanding of the Foundations of Human Rights and Democracy and of the philosophical Foundations of Science and Medicine itself).

HUMAN RIGHTS AND FREEDOMS FOREVER! (founded 2015) In which the Foundational Principles of Human Rights and Democracy (Plus 10 Core Principles of Lasting Democracy) are delineated from four academic disciplines (History; Science; Logic and the History of Philosophy), encapsulated in William Baptiste’s HUMAN RIGHTS EDUCATION FOR LASTING FREE DEMOCRACY BOOK SERIES (which include The WINNING STRATEGY for the ‘Culture of Life’ to WIN the ‘Cultural War’ with ‘The Culture of Death,’ to Save Humanity Forever from Bigotry and ‘Creeping Totalitarianism;’ and the WINNING STRATEGY for Philosophical Realism to WIN the Ideological War with Philosophical Relativism, to Save the Integrity of Science and Medicine.
And
CHRISTIAN UNITY IN DIVERSITY CENTRAL (founded 2007) which includes The Common Creed of Christianity: Reintroducing Christianity to Western Civilization Built on It “So That the World May Believe” (10 Articles of Common, Traditional Christian Faith to Help Christians of All Traditions Work Together to Successfully Engage the Secularized Culture Which Has Forgotten that Human Rights and Science Itself Depend Historically and Logically upon Biblical, Judeo-Christian Principles – As Well As Eternal Life!). As a Christian personally deeply experienced (and theologically trained) in both Eastern and Western Christianity, Protestant and Catholic Christianity, William Baptiste since 2004 (when he was working on his Master’s Degree in Western Theology, achieved with Honors before his Ph.D. studies in Eastern Theology) has been working on developing The Common Creed of Christianity, which delineates the vast Common Christian Faith held by ALL “traditional” Christians, whether they be (Eastern or Western) Catholic, Eastern Orthodox, or (Western) Protestant/Evangelical (or even “Messianic Jewish” – Jewish Believers in Jesus as Israel’s Promised Messiah, a category which includes “Hebrew Catholics”). William Baptiste as a scholar and sometime-professor of the Early Church Fathers has a scholarly special interest in the Undivided Early Church of the First Millennium – and he can testify that ALL of the three major branches of Christianity (Eastern and Western Catholic; Eastern Orthodox; and (Western) Protestant/Evangelical) have best preserved different aspects of the Undivided Early Church’s life – which is why all today’s Christians should be willing to listen to and learn from each other, in order to become the best we can be – “so that the world may believe” when it sees our “love for one another” – as Jesus prayed for us (John 13:34-35; 17:20-23). In the meantime, secularized people need to become more familiar with basic Christianity such as is delineated in The Common Creed of Christianity, at the very least because a proper governmental respect for Christianity as the origin and source of the Foundational Principles of Human Rights and Democracy (and Science itself!) is necessary for the long-term preservation of Human Rights and Democracy (as proven by the last decade of more and more anti-democratic, unscientific/Relativistic-not-Realistic and totalitarian-oriented laws passed in William Baptiste’s country and around the world). More than this, Christians will happily testify that the further Christian principles (and mysteries!) will help set up any human for the fullest, deepest, most meaningful expression of their human life, now and forever, as they come to encounter Jesus Christ personally, and become adopted into God’s Family through their “belief and baptism,” as Jesus taught! (Mark 16:16; see John 3:5-8; Romans 8:15-16).
