      I'd say it is when used as a tool to discredit non-western cultures, which is the form of atheism I am speaking about.

          I'm also against large structured churches ala the Romana Catholics fwiw. I have an issue with any dogmatic approach that involves colonialism or some form of chauvinism as a default. The form of atheism I'm talking of is for sure western chauvinistic, the Catholics on the other hand were, historically, both colonialist and chauvinistic.

          There's a large overlap between the atheists I'm talking about and libertarians/liberals so the no god but money bit is definitely apt.

              Yep, right with you on it. Though it doesn't have to be Christianity. Atheism also works, but not within the western context that it brings up. It's cool to not want to be involved with religion, but the abolition of religion, and the cultures involved, is for sure a fash tactict.

              Like look at the global south. Massive amounts of religious people there are comrades. If you come at leftism with the intent to abolish religion or whatever then you will not be successful.
