ShiaBrain (shiabrain.com) is a research institution exploring comparative religion, ethics, philosophy, and socio-political issues. We aim to provide clear articulation of the ideological foundations, axiomatic assumptions, and historical contexts that shape religious belief systems and secular worldviews. Rooted in Shia thought and tenets, we inherently oppose indoctrination and blind faith, and encourage critical inquiry and critique of the conclusions we present. Our goal is to facilitate the means for those pursuing a deeper understanding of the fundamental nature of existence and the self-evident human experience.
