…the socialist movement has numerous characteristics common…to primitive Christianity, notably its ardent faith in the ideal."

I doubt the truth of this statement. Christians are not given to idealism. God is not an Ideal, but a Person Who seeks to draw individual human persons into intimate relation and comunication with Himself. Socialism sees mankind as an abstract entity, as Mass Man. It cares not a hoot about individuals, who may be sacrified to the abstraction whenever "necessary."

God is Life in the here and now, as well as in the beyond of this world -- not some utopian future paradise whose manifestation here on earth is doubtful at best.

Great article, Lindykim. Certainly you are correct to observe the intimate connection between Neodarwinism and socialism/communism. The socialist ideas of man and history are both deductions from Darwinian premises.

Thanks so much for the ping!
