Literally the only people right now making a big fuss about how leftist movements really really need religion are terminally online, barring some movements in a few coutnries which have nothing to do with the countries said terminally online people live in. And they don't even make the same arguments, which of course makes sense because the people in these countries actually genuinely believe in these religions, they're not coming up with weird Jordan Peterson-esque postmodern fantasies about how they could maybe tweak religion so that they make it communist or whatever the fuck. No one gives much of a shit about religion any more in most developed countries and that's good. It was never needed in the first place and it was 90% of the time a hurdle, and 10% of the time it just happened to be helpful because of some specific features of these societies and religion in these societies.
