Socialism is rooted in the denial of God.

Not so. That is Communism. In both cases, the economic ideas trump all other ideas. Early Christianity focused on charity, opposing interest rates (called it usury) and there is the famous verse against rich people entering heaven. The conflict between Catholics and Protestants in Ireland was seen by Karl Marx as a war between land grabbers (allegedly, these were Protestants) and those who wanted to give land to the poor (Catholics).

The question of God is a minor issue in the whole game.

I’d discuss this with you, but I don’t know which error to deal with first.
