For any Christians reading all this, I don’t even hate Christianity. Liberation theology and Christian socialists do a lot of good.
The church is an incredibly efficient social structure and community mechanism which is why predators and reactionaries co-opted it as a means of consolidating power.
Acquainted with a few liberation theology/socialist Christians. Ye, that's their logic basically. Essentially once large scale organized Christianity took off it became a tool coopted by reactionaries for power & wealth that ignored the original message. Personally can't speak to the accuracy of this since my knowledge of the history of Christianity is lacking but I suppose you can certainly argue that case, a lotta evangelicals certainly aren't paying attention to the "love thy neighbor, the rich are sinful, etc." shit.
