Introduction: The Bell Curve as a Racist Foundation
If you know anything about atheists who also hold racist views, it’s that many of them use The Bell Curve as a foundational belief. To them, it becomes a rallying cry, a way to justify racism, and this is one reason certain political extremists, both National and Democratic socialists, show hostility toward Christianity. This even includes people who may identify as Christians while still holding bigoted beliefs.
Racist Collectivism vs. Individual Reality
For racists of any background, the conclusion is predetermined: they believe certain groups are “unfit” for civilization. In their worldview, if a population cannot collectively reach an IQ benchmark based on tests, then the group is deemed hopeless, regardless of circumstance or individual potential.
Understanding Elitism and Agenda-Driven Messaging
People may ask how certain left-leaning movements attract minorities if some supporters privately hold racist assumptions. Elitism is the answer. Wealthy or influential elites do not experience the chaos they endorse; their decisions impact everyday people, not themselves.
Elitism is also a marketplace, and some individuals, across all backgrounds, may uphold racial narratives if it benefits their careers.
Media Pressure and Representation Distortion
Imagine a Black journalist wanting to join a major news organization. If leadership demands that stories be framed a certain way, many applicants will adopt that framing for the sake of employment. Entry-level roles are especially vulnerable.
The public then misinterprets this framing as representative of an entire group. People may say: “This one journalist portrays Nigerians negatively, so The Bell Curve must be right.”
This is collectivist thinking, the exact opposite of Christian teaching.
Christian Individualism vs. Atheist Collectivism
From a Christian perspective, judging humanity in collective blocs makes no sense. But an atheist adopting strict collectivism may assume “the data speaks for itself.”
Yet this interpretation falls apart under scrutiny.
Why Christian Societies Tend to Be More Peaceful
Globally, Christians who genuinely follow Christ tend to become peaceful, stable members of society. It is easier to learn, grow, and thrive when you are not living under constant threat.
Instability in parts of Africa is not caused by race, but by competing belief systems, power struggles, and political movements.
Nationalism, Identity, and Division
Various nationalist movements, across ethnicities, operate similarly worldwide. These ideologies regulate behavior, limit freedoms, and create division.
The Flawed Logic of Treating Groups as Monolithic
A biracial child raised in a racially tense environment may face rejection from both sides, not because of who they are, but because of symbolic meaning. This reveals the failure of collectivist logic: it erases individuality.
Using The Bell Curve as a guiding argument strips people of uniqueness and reduces them to statistics. Even at the cellular level, variation creates unpredictable outcomes.
Why the United States Still Leads Globally
Despite deep debt and internal challenges, the United States remains influential because it still allows open debate and uncensored conversation. Nuanced arguments thrive where ideas can be freely exchanged.
Christians Do Not Claim All Knowledge
Christians do not pretend to know everything. If someone believes they “know it all,” they are closer to atheism than Christianity. Jesus Himself said only the Father knows the timing of His return. Christians build God’s kingdom through continuous growth.
Closed Arguments and Misinterpretations of Nigeria
Some atheists or ideological leftists view race as a fixed category. They overlook the real causes of turmoil in Nigeria: extremist organizations, not ordinary citizens.
Christianity as a System of Spiritual Self-Governance
Christianity is more than a religion, it is a form of self-governance. Scripture guides us. Jesus was not violent; His righteous anger and bold words reflected justice, not brutality.
How Extremist Interpretations Distort Other Faith Traditions
In other faith traditions, Jesus is not the guiding authority. Interpretations vary widely, and some fringe groups distort teachings and justify violence. These extremist interpretations do not represent entire populations but have serious consequences.
Media Framing and Self-Censorship
Many news outlets soften details to appear “neutral” for shareholders. Instead of reporting facts, they frame stories through racial or political lenses. When extremists in Nigeria attack Christians and Muslims, why not state it plainly?
Avoiding details undercuts the truth and fuels misinformation.
Exposure Discourages Extremism, Not Encourages It
Some argue that naming extremist perpetrators helps recruitment. In reality, public exposure often motivates communities to stand against such groups.
Why Racist Narratives Depend on Censored Information
Racist and atheist narratives persist because they rely on incomplete information. Once real data is examined, The Bell Curve loses credibility.
What Nigerian Christians Truly Want
Speak to Nigerian Christians and you’ll hear the same story: they love Nigeria. They feel forced to leave because their government has denied citizens the ability to protect themselves.
Self-defense restrictions have produced widespread vulnerability.
Christians and the Principle of Non-Initiation of Violence
Christians do not initiate violence or seek conflict. We spread the name of Jesus and stand firm. Bullying and intimidation stem from secular ideologies trying to suppress Christian values.
Government Failure to Protect Citizens
Nigeria’s government often arrives too late or under external pressure.
Gun rights in Nigeria are heavily restricted. Licenses require special approval, are not guaranteed, and unauthorized possession can result in imprisonment or heavy fines.
How Restrictive Laws Contribute to Vulnerability
Strict European-style firearm policies leave law-abiding citizens defenseless while extremists obtain weapons through illegal channels or external funding.
Why Christian Ethics Lead to Flourishing
Nigeria did not begin as a Christian nation. Nigerian Christians abroad flourish in Christian-majority environments because they aren’t hindered by destructive subcultures or divisive ideologies.
This pattern appears globally.
A Spiritual Battle, Not a Racial One
Christians must recognize that humanity faces a spiritual, not racial, battle. Never bow to foreign gods or secular belief systems that diminish human dignity.
Conclusion: Pray for Nigeria
Pray for the Christians in Nigeria.
Consider making Jesus Christ your Lord and Savior today.
