SOCIALISM IS SECULAR
Socialisms concern about the organization of life on earth does not involve any supposition about life elsewhere, or about mans soul, or the procedures of fulfilling the will of God or Gods.
Socialism is secular. It has nothing to say about whether there is a God. Certainly it rests on the assumption of the equality of man, but people can reach this conclusion by many routes. People can accept the equality of man because they believe that all men were created by God, they can believe it because they feel that the scientific evidence supports such a conclusion , or the can accept it simply because they believe it is the only basis on which life in society can be organized without injustice. It does not matter why people accept the equality of man as the basis of social organization; all that matters is that they do accept it.

What matters in socialism and to the socialist is that you should care about a particular kind of social relationship on this earth. Why you care is your own affair. There is nothing incompatible between socialism and Christianity, Islam , or any other religion which accepts the equality of man on earth.
