It may seem strange, but I am an atheist and I will defend religion. In general, the idea and philosophy are primary. Religious teachings are generally based on goodness and socialism. Another thing is that they are perverted by the institution of the church and subordinated to the interests of earning money.
The Bolsheviks promoted freedom of religion.
The conditions were simple. There is a certain temple in the village. Do the parishioners want to support it? Can the temple pay its expenses and taxes? Then let it exist. Not needed by society? Then the temple is not needed.
The ideas themselves, especially of shamanism and paganism, may be interesting to study.
After all, someone in a certain tribe, thought about good and evil. About the meaning of life. Let him try to explain the forces of nature with some mysticism. You need to understand that he did not read books, then there were no books written. I didn't study science. But religion is the first step to philosophy, and then to the rest of the sciences.
Now with regard to meeting their household needs. This is primary, but it is not funny only one of the stages of a socially just society.
The Bolsheviks were in favor of a well-fed society, where there is food, shelter, clothing and rest, not as the goal itself.
If a person is not forced to devote 90-99% of his life to the extraction of a piece of bread. He begins to think. Looking for new ways of development.
Of course, not everyone will become a scientist. Not everyone will make a scientific discovery. That's just the number is gradually transformed into quality.
Conventionally, Ancient Rome based its economic superiority on the labor of slaves. Because 90% of society, the slaves could not think. We didn't have time. They had to work. Only 10%, or even less, of the wealthy patricians had the time and resources to study the sciences.
In the case when 100% of society is not forced to constantly think about how to feed the family. They begin the search for scientific knowledge.
Maybe not all of them. But let's say the country has a population of 100,000,000. In the country of capitalism. Only 10,000,000 at best can devote themselves to science. And out of these 10 million, 1 in 100 will want to do this at best. So there will really be 100,000 scientists...
if the society is based on the principles of socialism. The population of the country is 100,000,000 people... Then at least 1 000 000 will be engaged in the study of science.
Then the quantity turns into quality. We can recall the example of the USSR. Which was in every way ahead of the United States in the space race. Why? There was more of a free population that could reflect and learn, rather than work 10-12 hours a day.
It is clear that in the United States, it is legally an 8-hour day. Another thing is, how often does an employer ask you to take overtime or work at home? How often does this affect your salary and career? In reality, very few people work for 8 hours...
Therefore, it becomes quite realistic to think about the invention of AI. Create some modern technologies that in the future will completely free a person from the obligation to work.
As a result, a classless society will appear. Work can turn from a duty into a pleasure and a hobby
