No reason why a religious person cannot be an ardent socialist

This is not the only habitual sin the Church has committed, repeatedly and widespread. This sexual abuse thing is but a latest of a long history of similar inhuman activity. You can sweep it under the rug if you like, but actually I'm surprised you don't quote Marx, "religion is the opiate of the people."


Whatever the metaphysical TRUTH of the Catholic Church or any other religious denomination most Marxists understand the need for spiritual " opium " so long as humanity is oppressed by rotten capitalism.

I have encountered no disciples of the New Atheism who are socialists devoted to the liberation of the working class. Most of then are obnoxious snobs , disciples of Ayn Rand , and share her intellectual " Life of Contempt ".

A long time ago Engels warned about a frontal assault on religion. And SCIENCE in any case deals with RELATIVE not ABSOLUTE truth.

There is no reason why any Catholic , Protestant , Jew , Muslim cannot be an ardent socialist.

Religious Freedom is under attack in the United States -from the hateful and phony Left - the pseudo-Left.
