The arc of history simply does not show that. We can point to the various issues in communist states (not criticizing communism but all the communist states are undoubtedly atheist).
- fsckboy 2y agonot criticizing communism? pray tell, what species are you considering? - E O Wilson
- paulryanrogers 2y agoWas it the absence of religion that created issues in communist states? Or perhaps authoritarianism, hero worship, overly centralized planning, low trust culture, or some other combination of factors at play? History's arc is much longer than communism, and religion is tied to some pretty horrific events.
- anon291 2y agoGiven that some of the hatred was targeting specifically religious people (for example, the CCP bans religious people from their ranks), then I think it's safe to say that it is driven by a dislike of religion You can agree with their take on religion or not, but their motivation remains the same.
