Unholy Empire: The Church, Slavery, and the Blind Faith That Enables Abuse
by Kayumba David

What if the greatest enabler of history's darkest injustices wore the robes of holiness?

In Unholy Empire, Kayumba David delivers a searing indictment of the world's most powerful religious institutions — exposing their centuries-long complicity in slavery, colonialism, racism, patriarchy, and war. From the branding of enslaved Africans by the Anglican Church in Barbados to the blood-soaked blessings of European crusades and conquests, this book unmasks the brutal realities hidden behind stained glass and sacred scripture.

Unflinching in its critique and rich in historical, philosophical, and theological insight, Unholy Empire dismantles the myth of the Church as a purely moral force. Drawing from archival records, leading historians, and the voices of the oppressed, David confronts readers with the disturbing truth: religion has often been less about saving souls — and more about consolidating power.

This is not merely a history book. It is a manifesto for spiritual decolonization.

Unholy Empire challenges blind faith and inherited dogmas, urging readers to replace theological obedience with ethical clarity. It calls for a new moral framework rooted not in ancient texts, but in natural law, fairness, and the dignity of all people.

Bold, controversial, and urgently necessary, this book will forever change how you see the pulpit, the Bible, and the empire of belief.

Prepare to question what you've been taught. Prepare to reclaim your conscience.
