Inspired by some of the discussion in this thread. I don't think it's appropriate place for that discussion there, but hey why not have a separate thread for it

If I think religion is not good in general, am I Reddit and cringe and basically Richard Dawkins?

i-think-that Marx had a good idea regarding a post-religious society; with improved material conditions and the dissolution of borders and classes, such a society would indeed be wonderful.

Post-revolution China achieved that for the most part, even with borders and classes still pending for dissolution.

Wanting to bring about that post-religious society by being smug and condescending toward people being crushed by capitalism and seeking a soul while in soulless conditions is sheer fucking hubris, however.
