August Bebel : " Christianity is the enemy of civilization " ?

This hostile attitude toward Christianity - in one form or another a the faith of millions of working class people all over the world - voiced below by the great German Socialist leader August Bebel years before the Soviet Union declared itself " officially atheist " - is a big factor in the failure- and corruption- of whatever is left of a mass socialist movement in the past 100 years. Honest atheists and agnostics in these self-appointed Marxist " vanguard " parties should have tried to build a bridge to the world's Christians. Is there a better spiritual foundation for DEMOCRATIC socialism than Christ's Sermon on the Mount ? And for centuries Catholic social philosophy certainly approaches the living ideas of democratic socialism. In a very interesting work titled " Materialism and Empirio Criticism Vladimir Lenin brilliantly and ferociously ridiculed " God seeking " in his own revolutionary party. But " God seeking " turns out to be not nearly as pernicious as God hating. It helps to really LOVE ( in the CHRISTIAN sense ) ALL human beings .
