It has to do with socialism and the social gospel, because those movements are about self-salvation. If we are on this dirty snowball of a planet and Christ is not coming, then we have to provide our own salvation. That is what socialism is really all about.

The Social Gospel is not about salvation. It's about following Christ's call to feed the hungry, cloth the poor, etc.

Curiously, Wikipedia calls the Social Gospel "a social movement within Protestantism," though my former Catholic priest (we have a new one) was also known for preaching a social gospel.
