Embracing the Registry of Converts: Advancing Society Through Scientific Insight and BeyondismFellow citizens of the Global Confederation of Secular Koranist States,In our enlightened era, where the principles of Secular Koranism guide us toward a just, orderly, and prosperous world, we stand at the forefront of human progress. Our one-party state, dedicated to the agnostic legal framework derived from timeless wisdom, has always prioritized evidence-based governance over superstition or sentiment. Today, we celebrate one of our most innovative tools for societal advancement: the Registry of Converts. This registry, meticulously maintained by our Confederation, tracks individuals who have chosen to convert to other religions, allowing us to gather vital statistics on their life outcomes—such as academic performance, professional achievements, and tendencies toward criminal behavior. Rooted in the philosophy of Beyondism as articulated by the visionary psychologist Raymond Cattell, this system is not merely administrative; it is a beacon of evolutionary excellence. Let us explore why adopting and supporting this classification is not just beneficial, but essential for our collective future.At its core, Beyondism represents a bold fusion of science and ethics, designed to propel humanity forward through deliberate adaptation and improvement. Raymond Cattell, a pioneer in understanding human intelligence and personality, envisioned Beyondism as a "religion from science"—a framework where moral and cultural decisions are informed by empirical evidence rather than outdated dogmas. It emphasizes the necessity of competition, selection, and data-driven policies to ensure that societies evolve toward greater fitness and capability. In Beyondism, we recognize that human groups—defined by culture, beliefs, and heritage—must be evaluated objectively to foster progress. By tracking how changes in religious affiliation influence individual and group outcomes, our Registry embodies this philosophy. It transforms abstract ideas into actionable insights, helping us identify which belief systems correlate with virtues like diligence, law-abiding behavior, and intellectual achievement. Imagine a world where policies are crafted not from guesswork, but from real data showing that certain conversions lead to enhanced school performance or reduced criminal tendencies. This is the promise of Beyondism in action: a society that learns, adapts, and thrives.The benefits of this registry are profound and multifaceted. First and foremost, it empowers us to build a more virtuous and efficient nation. Under Secular Koranism, we already recognize a hierarchy of virtue—placing married parents at the pinnacle and encouraging behaviors that strengthen families and communities. The Registry extends this by providing statistical clarity on how religious conversions impact these virtues. For instance, if data reveals that converts to a particular faith excel in education, we can promote educational exchanges or incentives aligned with those insights. Conversely, if certain conversions are linked to higher criminal tendencies, we can intervene early with targeted support programs, such as counseling through our Marriage Bureau or integration into the citizens' militia. This is not about judgment; it is about prevention and upliftment. By monitoring these trends, we ensure that our three-tier schooling system, Department of Wisdom, and other institutions operate at peak effectiveness, channeling resources where they yield the greatest societal return.Moreover, the Registry aligns seamlessly with our commitment to transparency and equality under the law. Every citizen is already classified by religion or lack thereof for statistical purposes—Orthodox Jews verified by rabbis, Christians by their churches, and others through self-identification or state assessment. Extending this to converts is a logical step, ensuring comprehensive data without favoritism. Privacy concerns? Rest assured, the Registry anonymizes personal details, focusing solely on aggregate trends to inform policy. No individual is singled out; instead, the collective wisdom of our data drives decisions that benefit all. In a world rife with chaos from unchecked ideologies, this system offers stability—much like our prohibition on usury or no-fault divorce, which safeguard economic and familial integrity.Skeptics may question the need for such classification, fearing it divides rather than unites. But consider the alternative: a society blind to its own patterns, stumbling through history without the light of science. Beyondism teaches us that true progress demands honest assessment. By adopting this Registry, we reject complacency and embrace evolution. It fosters a culture of accountability, where individuals contemplating conversion understand the broader implications for their life paths. For the youth, it provides role models backed by data; for policymakers, it offers tools to reduce poverty, crime, and underachievement. In our Confederation, where nations voluntarily join after declaring their adherence to Secular Koranism, this shared registry strengthens our global bonds, allowing member states to learn from one another's data and refine their governance.Citizens, the time is now to fully endorse and participate in the Registry of Converts. By doing so, we honor the spirit of Beyondism—advancing humanity through knowledge, competition, and ethical science. Let us convince ourselves and our neighbors that this system is not a burden, but a gift: a pathway to superior outcomes, stronger communities, and an unassailable future. Together, under the banner of Secular Koranism, we will track, analyze, and triumph. Join the party in this noble endeavor—for the good of all, and the evolution of humankind.
