know religion can be an entry to counter-revolutionary sentiment, but it doesn’t necessarily have to be. I say you can worship how you want, but the minute you act against the worker’s state go directly to gulag

i agree with you entirely and I wish i had better answers on what the difference between a "legitimate" religion and a bourgeois cult/mafia is (the "church" of scientology for instance has a private navy called Sea Org). As you suggested these organizations can be used as powerful tools for organizing the bourgeoisie as a class, and their petit bourgeois reactionary minions. I don't know what best way to combat that is.
