All Marxists are secular humanists/atheists... All humanist/atheists are Marxist by parallel association...

Wow, where did you pull that from?

I'm about as hardcore, deadset, God-rejecting atheist as you can get...and I ain't no damn commie!

You might be right talking about the rest of the world but this is America, a lot of atheists here are libertarians and, like me, Objectivists.

No disrespect intended...

I recommend you read the Humanist Manifesto (I & II)...

First, see how it stacks up against the tenets of classic Marxism and the Communist Manifesto.
It's an "eye-opener" of a comparison...

Second --conduct an intellectually honest self-examination & check your own spiritual/moral convictions...

Especially concerning the "basic goodness of humankind"...
And the ultimate ability of mankind to affect his ultimate destiny...

In other words, the inferred expectations that mankind will somehow -- in the final analysis-- "save" themselves...

Have a great day...
