economics affects religion

Politics affects organized institutional religion and churches and vice versa but IMO they are separate.

Are you always so literalist?

He used the word church in it's broadest definition, and didn't capitalize it, to indicate that.

It is unclear what point you are trying to make?

yea it means asking what is evil? so evil is power and control and treating people like they are numbers and not caring about the environment. so basically corporations and govt.

for me its also about making sure i treat people nicely and i am thinking about it. because if i dont think about it i could get out of control.

so i want to fight evil. i donate so much money that it hurts to organizations that are fighting power and control and pro democracy. our system is a power system and its bad for civilization. its more exciting to donate a lump sum like 5000 or whatever. i wear political clothes, got bumper stickers, go to protests. i protested the chinese government. ive also protested election of trump. i made youtube videos.

i encourage people to do whatever they can, make the best of their time (kill 2 birds with one stone), and have the faith that whatever you do matters.

Both communism and socialism are political theories not religious theories. IMO discussing as they are a religion or religious theories not fruitful or effective for that matter.

You are incorrect, they are far more than political theories.

You just think your religion is better than the Marxist nontheistic religious humanism that leftists practice.

So are you saying that politicians in the US government who lean left, even extreme left, are actually priests in a religion?

Might as well be. I think the only question is whether they are metaphorically priests, or if they are so much so as to be literally priests. Doesn't matter much to me either way. They fill the role, if it quacks like a duck and looks like a duck...

Do you belong to an organized institutional church or religion?

Irrelevant. I have in the past, I don't now. I know what religious thought and action looks like, and I see no difference between the way that people sitting in pews and leftists think and act. They all worship false idols.

It is my understanding that Marx was against religion.
