>>785196>it wouldn't exaggeration that most of the people that say that they are christians believe in good vibes and not god by itself.I agree, mostly in the aftermath the Protestant Reformation, HRE Peasant's Revolt, French Revolution etc. Europeans abondoned the old methodology of strictly accessing the God via established religious rites, instutions, holy books as mediums, and replaced it with the glorification of the personal intuition in regards to one with his relation with the god. Though even before the 'reformation' , all individual wills which desired to justify themselves were hidden under the banner of christianity

As Nietzsche worded in his book The Will to Power:
>"Christianity" has become something fundamentally different from what its founder did and desired. It is the great antipagan movement of antiquity, formulated through the employment of the life, teaching and “words” of the founder of Christianity but interpreted in an absolutely arbitrary way after the pattern of fundamentally different needs: translated into the language of every already existing subterranean religion—During this transition in Europe, Jewish and Islamic communities (which had a relatively low population) mostly remained in status quo, a portion of secular anti-semitism in Europe can traced back to this when your usual secularized-christian European sees the Jew still following their centuries-old rites.

But if we look at the now, I think Islamic societies had undergone such reformations as well, Turkey,Iraq,Egypt,Indonesia etc. are relatively secularized.
Nevertheless, still I am a fan of top-down enforcement of values (of the party of revolutionary-willers) and culture-restructuring, a shame that proletkult was shut down. Islam should have no place in a communist state as it effectively glorifies values counter-revolutionary
