FOUNDER CHRISTIAN CRUSADE
SOCIALISM AND CHRiSTIAMIi'Y
Many people vvlio know vciy
little about Communism realize
that its religious ideology is
atheism. However, lew realixa
the traditional socialist attitude
towards religion. During recent
years many American church
members have been made to be-
lieve that socialism and Chris-
tianity have much in common.
Do they? Let us go back a few
years and look into some impor-
tant facts.
Socialism stems from Karl
Marx just as does Communism.
In his Communist Manifesto,
Karl Marx called for the abolish-
ing of "all religion, and rtlt mo-
rality." I.c .d.'rs of Socialism
have prPcl'MiT: \1 iiie same prin-
ciple until i. vn! years when
thev 1 e.m.c silent on the issue
because of the effective use of
churches in promoting Social-
ism.
In inOfi a French Socialist
leader named Ilerve said: ' It is
absolutely necessary to destroy
all vestige >.f religious idea,
Catholic, Protestant, and Jewish,
in order t:> carry out the entire
program of advanced Socialism,
which depends upon the disap-
pearance cf every form of theo-
logical rirluence." A Socialist
named Liebknecht said;' I am an
Atheist. T do not believe in Cod.
It is our duty as socialists to
loot out the faith in God with
all our might, nor is any one
worthy the name who does not
consecrate himself to the spread
of Atheism."
The New York Call of March
2, 1912 said: "There is nothing

TAIL PIPES:
false hopes that a study of So-
li, lisin does net tend Io under-
mine religious beliefs. The
theory of economic determin-
ism alone, if thoroughly grasped,
leaves no room for a belief in
the supernatural." In a "Social-
ist Catechism" printed in a
publication called "The Live
Issue" during 1912, Cod was
identified as "a word used to
designate an imaginary being
which people of themselves
have devised" and regarding
Christianity the Socialists said
"Christianity is the greatest ob-
stacle to the progress of man-
kind. therefore it is the duty of
every citizen to help wipe out
Christianity."
Socialists and socialistic-
minded people have gone into
the churches to promote their
un-American philosophy just as
some communists have done up-
on orders of their leaders.
Therefore little of the anti-
Christian nature of Socialism
is heard today. Writing in the
Christian Century, October 19,
1932 Paul Blanchard, long-time
champion of socialist principles,
said: "The church's survival, it
seems to me, depends largely on
whether the ministry has the
courage to rise to the normal
level of Socialism. The decline
of moral principles In our nation
during recent years shows how
the churches have been affected
by socialistic principles.
