Imagine being an atheist in a Christian majority country and giving a fuck about Islam. Dude that’s simply not your fucking problem, deal with the delusional fanatics in your own backyard first.
atheists in Muslim societies should support the destruction of Islam
As an atheist from the Muslim world I'm telling you with all my heart that is the perfect formula to never see a lick of progress in the region ever
The Muslim world ain't the west with a grand state backed secular ideological canon of anti-communism, it's literally just the atheism accusations that prevents millions from picking up a hammer and sickle, which is pretty clever on the part of muslim capitalists
But if that instrument disappears from the hands of the regimes you'd see million strong communist parties all over the Muslim world
White Evangelical Christianity exists to help prop up the structure of white privilege and supremacy. Start from there and work backward, then it all makes a lot more sense.
For example, in 2023 most Evangelicals have basically abandoned any sense of trying to “preach the gospel” and convert non-Christians. Instead, they are now laser-focused on “raising families” and having as many kids as physically possible, despite this emphasis on familial ties being absent from the Bible at best and heretical at worst (Jesus clearly tells people that families don’t actually matter, you should ignore them to follow him)
I think that take is controversial because it's obvious utopian nonsense detached from any material reality, the majority of the working class globally are religious, that's not an endorsement that's just a fact and there's hasn't been any configuration of atheism that would make a convincing dent in it
Obviously nobody actaully gives a fuck about the theology, not even the believers, there's only one real God and one real religion out there and its name is Capital
And in a fundamental way it's already killed these religions and turned them into corpse puppets
What would religion look like without any capital scaffolding it, that's the question commies should be asking, not "hOw cAn wE dEsTrOY iDeAS iN PeOples hEaDs"
The USSR made quite a convincing dent until capitalism came back and propped the church back up. You can’t make Marxism religious you can only accommodate religion as necessary. If ever your glorious revolution should succeed, it’s time to start chipping away at it. Not that you should throw your devout grandma in a gulag, but religion will naturally start to recede even if it takes two hundred years to be meaningful.
That's my point, it wasn't the atheism that did that it was socialism
And socialists did it by tackling the root behind why people need religion, not bludgeoning people over theology that most of them don't actaully believe or even have an education in
"Huh, I wonder why some people see my religion as a bunch of lies for me to cynically grab power for myself."
Reddit atheists come back.
They're too busy hating Muslims and becoming "based tradcaths"

In this moment, I am euphoric. Not because of any phony G*D's blessing, but because of the copious amounts of Estradiol.
Yeah I think middle school me was right about Christianity, it should be loudly and violently opposed and destroyed
This shouldn’t be controversial in a leftist space, but I still see people trying to save it because Jesus said some basic ass populism shit

I would go so far as to say anyone claiming anything dogmatic should be opposed and destroyed. The only dogma is there shall be none.
They are back, except they found
or have bought into "Cultural Christianity" and/or "Secular Calvinism" ideology like Richard Dawkins did.
