"More generally, Marx’s approach provides socialists with a framework from which they are able to keep their independence from religious ideas, while refusing to reify these ideas as the key problem in the modern world. In a capitalist system marked by exploitation, inequality and war, socialists recognise that religion, like other ideologies, can reflect the critique of these barbarities or become an apologist for them, and often can do both at the same time. We therefore engage with religious movements not primarily as the embodiment of abstractly false ideas, but in the light of how they relate to these the real key problems of our age, fighting alongside those who hold these beliefs in so far as they confront these problems, and criticising them in so far as they do not."
