The Dangerous Union of Religion and Politics [ Why the New Atheists will never succeed in convincing the masses that " God Does Not Exist " ]

So if the New Atheists succeed, by some miracle of friendly persuasion, in convincing the masses that RELIGION is stupid, then oh so rational CAPITALISM, AMERICAN IMPERIALISM , and ISRAELI ZIONISM can continue going on much more happily without the " GOD noise " from the masses ? As if the ruling classes were not already quite Godless ? The evangelists of the New Atheism will never convince the mostly religious masses that " God Does Not Exist " anymore than we democratic socialists will ever convert the American plutocracy to the slogans of the 1848 " Communist Manifesto " written Marx and Engels . REASON & LOGIC work just fine in the hard sciences . But REASON & LOGIC have never decided any conflict in human society since the beginning of civilization. In biology the STRUGGLE FOR EXISTENCE has a logic of its own . And so does the CLASS STRUGGLE in human society . Both Marxism and Christianity seem to agree that the" Just God" ( = DIALECTICAL MATERIALISM for Marx ) " is always on the side of the oppressed. So just WHO do the New Atheist cranks speak for ? They speak for the petty bourgeois intellectual class , mostly of ACADEMIA , who do not dare apply their oh-so-sharp critical thinking skills to more dangerous topics -at least more dangerous to their " respectable " petty-bourgeois careers . Find one New Atheist who published an essay that might be titled " On the Insane Evil of Capitalism , American Imperialism, and Israeli Zionism " ? In WOKE ideology today " hating God " is not considered nasty " hate speech " .
