Want to learn more about religion and socialism?
The same impulses that propel humans toward religion have also propelled them toward socialism. At times, these impulses have collided, and in every age they have been deflected, deformed, or denied. But the desire for meaningful lives, for a “sharing of life’s glories” is common across cultures. Volumes have been written about religion and socialism, and one of the most accessible is by DSA member Fran Quigley, Religious Socialism, Faith in Action for a Better World. For a more detailed history and analysis, try DSA member Gary Dorrien’s American Democratic Socialism, History, Politics, Religion, and Theory. Best of all, try talking to other religious socialists through the DSA Religion and Socialism Working Group.
