    We only align with progressive theists because the enemy of our enemy (capitalism) is our ally.

    Hakim mentions about one of the mistakes of former socialist nations is the repression of religious practice. Religion may never disappear fully, but it does more harm to suppress progressive theists’ freedom of religious expression as it can lend reactionaries power but also misses the opportunity to use religion as a powerful tool to demonstrate its compatibility with socialist ideals. As many arguments are antitheist in this thread, I am curious about people’s perspectives on this point.

    I’m agnostic, btw.
