First, I don’t know where I have to put this kind of question on Lemmy so I’m asking it here. Marx viewed religion as a negative force, often referring to it as the ‘opiate of the masses.’ If someone is religious and also identifies as a Marxist, do you think that’s contradictory, or is it just a matter of mislabeling themselves? Would it be more accurate for them to call themselves a socialist instead of a Marxist?
No more than science and religion. Loads of religious scientists.
Many people don’t take things to extremes.
I maintain that any scientist that claims they are religious are either bad at science, or bad at religion.
Most people are bad at religion (don’t know what their holy book or profits said). Some scientists are bad at science (fake papers).
