Below is a story about Christians reacting with anger to their religion being labeled as idolatry and blasphemy by Orthodox Jewish Rabbis under the Secular Koranist government, based on all the data provided on Secular Koranism—its definition, laws, the Secular Koranist Constitution, the SKPA Party Constitution, the SKPA Manifesto, and various pamphlets. The narrative reflects the system’s encouragement of Orthodox Jews to rank Gentile religions by Noahide Law compliance, with Christianity potentially ranked lowest due to the Trinity, and explores the emotional and social fallout among Christians.
The Cross and the Verdict
The air in St. Paul’s Lutheran Church was thick with murmurs and the faint scent of old hymnals. It was a crisp evening in April 2025, just over a year since the Secular Koranist Party of America (SKPA) had seized power and enacted the Secular Koranist Constitution. Pastor Daniel Reese stood at the pulpit in this modest Cincinnati congregation, his hands gripping the worn wood. Below him, fifty parishioners—factory workers, teachers, retirees—shifted in their pews, eyes fixed on the letter he held aloft. It was from the State Registry of Religions, stamped with the SKPA seal, and it carried news that had set their blood boiling.
“Brothers and sisters,” Daniel began, his voice steady but tight, “we’ve been judged. The Orthodox Rabbis—given their role by this so-called secular government—have ranked us. Christianity, our faith, they call idolatry and blasphemy. Idolatry for believing in our Lord Jesus Christ as God’s Son. Blasphemy for the Holy Trinity. They say we’re the least righteous of the four Gentile religions—behind Islam, Buddhism, even Hinduism. This is their ‘Noahide’ verdict.”
A ripple of gasps and curses swept the room. Marybeth, a gray-haired widow in the front row, clutched her cross necklace. “Idolatry? Jesus ain’t no idol—he’s our Savior!” she cried. Tom, a burly mechanic near the back, slammed his fist on the pew. “Blasphemy? That’s what they’re doing, slandering us with their Jewish laws!” The anger was raw, a fire stoked by centuries of faith now branded as sin by a government they hadn’t voted for—at least, not all of them.
Daniel had seen it coming. The SKPA’s rise had promised order: no usury to choke their debts, a flat 20% tax that eased their wallets, a citizens’ militia some of his flock had joined. But the Koran part—the “Secular Koranism” label—had always rankled. Claire Khaw, the agnostic founder, swore it wasn’t Islam, just law stripped of faith. Fine, Daniel thought, until this. The State Registry of Religions, with its lists—Orthodox Jews, Heretical Jews, Muslims, denomination-verified Christians like his Lutherans—had seemed odd but harmless. Then came the twist: Orthodox Rabbis, vouched for by synagogues and cleared of Torah’s 36 capital offenses, were tasked with ranking Islam, Christianity, Hinduism, and Buddhism by the Noahide Laws. Seven rules—don’t worship idols, don’t blaspheme, and so on—now used to judge them.
The pamphlet with the letter explained it coolly: “The Secular Koranist state sees the Noahide Laws as a seven-star rating service for righteousness and cohesion. We encourage Orthodox Jews to evaluate Gentile religions, hoping Islam ranks highest, then Buddhism, Hinduism, and Christianity last, due to its Trinity—seen as idolatry and blasphemy by Jewish standards.” It wasn’t law, the SKPA insisted—just “dialogue.” No penalties, no bans. Freedom of religion held, per Koran 2:256: “There shall be no compulsion in religion.” But to Daniel’s flock, it felt like a slap.
After the service, they gathered in the basement over coffee and stale donuts, voices rising. “They’re saying our God’s a lie!” Tom growled, pacing. “The Trinity’s blasphemy? That’s our core—Father, Son, Holy Spirit. Who are these Rabbis to judge us?”
Marybeth nodded, tears in her eyes. “My whole life, I’ve prayed to Jesus. Now some Koranist state lets Jews call it wrong?”
“It’s not even Jewish law—it’s their secular game,” added Sarah, a young teacher confirmed Lutheran like Daniel. “They track us for stats—education, jobs, crime. This ranking’s just more data to them. But it hurts.”

Daniel sipped his coffee, bitter as his thoughts. He’d preached tolerance, but this cut deep. The Noahide Laws—no idols, no blasphemy—made sense as ethics, sure. But calling Jesus an idol? The Trinity a curse? That wasn’t dialogue—it was an attack. And the SKPA’s hope—spelled out in black and white—that Christianity rank lowest? It felt rigged, a nod to Islam’s monotheism over their sacred mystery. He’d seen the state TV channel touting “equality under law,” but this wasn’t equal. Muslims got a pass, self-identifying with no fuss. Jews got their special lists. Christians got judged.
The next day, Daniel led a dozen congregants to the local SKPA office, a squat building flanked by militia guards. They carried signs: “Jesus Is Lord, Not Idolatry,” “Stop the Noahide Lie.” Inside, a clerk met them, unfazed. “Pastor Reese, right? What’s the issue?”
Daniel thrust the letter forward. “This. Your Rabbis calling us idolaters and blasphemers. We’re Christians—Lutherans, confirmed in our church. Why’s our faith being trashed?”
The clerk, a thin man with tired eyes, skimmed it. “It’s not law. The state asked Orthodox Jews to rank religions by Noahide standards—voluntary, no force. Christianity’s Trinity doesn’t fit their view. No penalties, though. You’re free to worship.”
“Free?” Tom interjected. “You’re hoping we’re the worst! That’s not neutral—it’s a setup!”
“It’s data,” the clerk said. “We track trends—education, crime. Rankings help us learn what works. Claire Khaw’s agnostic—this ain’t about faith, it’s about cohesion.”
“Cohesion?” Marybeth snapped. “You’re dividing us, not uniting!”

“Cohesion?” Marybeth snapped. “You’re dividing us, not uniting!”
The clerk handed them a pamphlet: “Atheists, agnostics, nontheists—equal under law. So are you. No special status for anyone.” Daniel skimmed it, unconvinced. Equal on paper, maybe, but the sting of “idolatry” lingered.
Back at St. Paul’s, the anger simmered into resolve. They’d keep worshiping—louder, prouder. Daniel preached defiance that Sunday: “They can rank us, but they can’t break us. Our faith’s not data—it’s truth.” The congregation cheered, but privately, he worried. The SKPA’s laws—no usury, flat tax—helped them survive. The militia kept streets safe. But this Noahide ranking gnawed at their soul. Some talked of protest marches; others whispered about leaving Ohio for a less “Koranist” state—if any still existed.
Weeks later, a Rabbi’s report aired on the state channel: “Islam: 7 stars. Buddhism: 6. Hinduism: 5. Christianity: 3.” The room hushed as Daniel watched with his flock. Three stars—for the cross that saved them. Idolatry and blasphemy, the Rabbi said, his tone clinical. Tom smashed his mug. Marybeth wept. Daniel prayed.
They were angry, yes—but they weren’t beaten. The Secular Koranist state could label them, but it couldn’t erase them. Their fight, like their faith, endured.
Notes on the Story
- Data Integration: The story uses Secular Koranism’s registry (Orthodox Jews ranking religions), Noahide Laws as a “seven-star rating,” and the SKPA’s hoped-for ranking (Islam highest, Christianity lowest due to Trinity), alongside laws (no usury, flat tax) and freedoms (Koran 2:256).
- Christian Perspective: It captures the emotional betrayal of Lutherans—confirmed Christians—facing a secular system that lets Rabbis judge their core beliefs, reflecting pamphlet details on the ranking’s purpose and limits.
- Tension and Nuance: The SKPA’s agnostic stance and “no penalty” reassurance clash with the visceral offense felt by Christians, highlighting the gap between intent and impact.
- Realism: The characters’ mix of defiance, practical acceptance (e.g., economic benefits), and lingering resentment mirrors the psychological profile of order-seeking yet tradition-bound SKPA skeptics.
This tale showcases the human cost of Secular Koranism’s intellectual exercise, pitting Christian identity against a system that values data over devotion.
