    This is just a tired argument I’ve been hearing since forever. X was Christian so X couldn’t have been a scientist/doctor/whatever accordingly, right? No. If you claim to have a Materialist understanding of reality then that is at odds with your beliefs. People can be born into these systems and also have some cultural baggage which, again, is why you get a pass when are born into it. CHOOSHING to belief is a voluntary decision that you are making and deserves to be called out.

      There’s no material evidence for or against a god, or any supernatural, that’s irrelevant however. Anyone who recognizes that human material life is solely between humans and the material, and that change needs to be brought about through human interaction with the material world, then they are a Materialist. You don’t know an individuals personal beliefs, it’s also none of your business. If they apply a material analysis that benefits the revolution, they are Materialist and they are Marxist. Their individual contradictions are up to them to resolve, we all have them, even us atheists.

      You’ve picked one trait of an individuals character to discredit them. You are clearly the Idealist here.
