I always believed religion was incompatible with a society rooted in addressing material reality, although I know we have have religious users and wanted to hear people's takes.

religions that come from communal cultures (that's most of them) are compatible with communism. religions that develop under the material conditions that promote the development of fascism and capitalism, not so much.

Which is funny you say that because the most modern liberalized religion, Mormons, is also one of thr best at creating a dual power mass line system or whatever.

Don't they believe specifically and only in "communism" theocratically administered by Jesus Christ personally? I'm pretty sure they're the same as conservative Christians otherwise. Its not like they have meaningfully distinct views

and they're practically the recruiting branch of the CIA and FBI
