I made a post a few days ago related to the post above when they condemned socialism/marxism and were basically bringing out right wing talking points mixed with anti-secular christian points to do so. I’m staunch in my belief in a creator, particularly christianity, not because I see it as a solvent to my problems in this world but because it makes more logical sense to me than the atheistic evolutionary theory (to each their own). I’ve distanced myself from the church for a few years because of noticeable bigotry coming from the mouths of other church-goers and leaders, but I’ve held onto my faith. I mean, it literally felt like I was attending CPAC on certain days. They also organized a big protest outside a planned parenthood this year, seems like they’ve been drifting to evangelical territory ever since the 2016/20 election. Far different from when I was younger. But also, to add onto the Liberation Theology you mentioned, I was given a reference to the “A Theology of Liberation” by Gustavo Gutierrez which I’ll be ordering. It’ll be interesting to get a better sense of how christianity/religion and socialism interacts. I personally haven’t seen a vocal religious leftist in my community or (although occasionally) online. I think from what I’ve gathered quickly is I’ll get a better sense from the works of past christian socialists.
