How Is Communism a Religion

[TriPolar]

@Lightnin

The reason atheists (and, I assume, communists) “bristle” at the comparison to religion is because that argument is merely step one of a larger argument, one we’ve seen hundreds of times before:

1. Atheism is just another religion! Therefore, my (theistic) beliefs are just as valid as yours!

2. Since my (theistic) beliefs are just as valid as your (atheistic) beliefs, one of us has to be wrong. I have a book which says I’m right, so your beliefs are wrong!

3. Prophet!

Since this is clearly a bogus line of reasoning, it’s best to nip it in the bud when it starts.

You are right. Your bogus line of reasoning should be nipped in the bud. Stop quacking if you aren’t a duck.
