They werent controlling the lack of knowledge
it was the same as thinking the earth was not in the centre of the universe
they simply didnt know
in the religious field? for many they do
I highly doubt that now
many religious cadres have a good enough education to know those things
not the followers of the faith though
How do you think Atheism became more and more of a thing out of christianity?
and thats where alienation comes in
because capitalism needs at least a partial dismantling of those institutions
as the bible has a lot of feudal ideology
such as separatism on the roman empire and so on
So how would atheism benefit capitalism?
not necessarily atheism
but restricted religion
Such as?
and specially stronger on the masses
like people not using religion in science
as a method
Religion in science? What religious method has been used in science?
In places in the west?
@Mr. X feudal times
Oh
thomas aquinas
and so on
many of the feudal technicians and specialists came from the clergy
and their visions were essentialy linked to religion
As they were the most educated in such fields right?
yep as the clergy had a important role on maintaining the feudal status quo
with concepts such as divine right
that were when not destroyed modified
such as in the french revolution
How would capitalism be the cause of atheism being more popular exactly though?
because in its essence capitalism is atheistic lets say
its about the commodities and not the institutions around it
but they have a need for maintaining those institutions with some restrictions
in order to contain conscience specially on the masses
and in many pseudo intelectual areas
and as capitalism expands the contradictions between the necessities of capital and those institutions grow larger
So the scientific method became better due to capitalism aswell as the education as time past?
