zizek says that the book of job is the first critique of ideology, and he calls himself a christian atheist because he thinks becoming an atheist is only possible by going through christianity.
so you have it exactly backwards. or maybe not, who the hell knows with hegelians.

- yesenadam 8y agoI have what backwards? Also..I read the book of Job, supposed to be super-impressive. OMG. God comes over as such a twat, is dicking around with Satan, makes a stupid bet just because Satan wants to, to torture the apparently faithful Job. Well, Marxism has a lot of similarities with Christianity, as has been pointed out by a lot of people. So maybe 'that' kind of atheist mostly comes from replacing one's christianity with another religion. Ohh sure, "becoming an atheist" means you used to be religious, I guess. But there are other religions. Thousands and thousands.
