You can still be religious and be socialist, but you can't use your religion outside your personal life or use it as a tool for understanding the conditions of the working class under capitalism. Otherwise you just get weird protestant work ethic shit tied to a romanticized ideal of the worker.

This is where liberation theologists break with Marx. Yes, it can be used as an opiate, but synthesised with a proper understanding of Historical Materialism, it can also be a great driver against oppression. Jesus came bearing a sword, after all.

Hard disagree. You wind up with prosperity gospel shit when you value capitalism more than your faith.

How is that contradictory to what I said?
there is genuinely useful information in the Bible about how to combine theory and Praxis.
