Atheism in Christianity

If "religious fundamentalism" is an exceptional modern phenomenon, as Habermas suggests, it is necessary to ask why the sudden exit from modernity occurs through a special, single religious dimension in this period we live in. What might people be looking for when they turn to religion? By doing this, do they become obvious victims of the God illusion, which is the continuation of false consciousness, or is religion something more than just the "opium of the people"? While calling back a past that is remembered incorrectly and differently than it is, but is complete in itself, is one calling back to a future that is not rooted in imagination? Is it possible to move from this misremembered past to that future without experiencing a radical break from the world of understanding that God's forgiving decisions will not be discussed?
All of these are the advantages of human existence that Ernst Bloch dealt with throughout his life; It is in the questions of the effort to understand those excesses that we encounter where all reasonable explanations have been exhausted. Bloch wants to understand what the groan of an oppressed, oppressed creature is like and whether there is a loud cry of not only despair but also freedom in this groan.

Bloch sees this cry not only as a result of material pressure, but also as an expression of a kind of metaphysical loss brought about by the conditions of modernity. Like a bass voice that accompanies this, a metaphysics of hope appears before us, a "direction constant" driven by our desire for that promised land.

The realm of freedom is a material thing that is not yet completed; That delayed perfection of historical dialectical materialism will bring together areas that are as far away from each other as possible: future and nature, expectation and matter.

Bloch's paradise on earth is a processual rather than programmatic utopia. He states that Marxism is not a dystopia in this context, but a utopia that is real, concretely mediated and open-ended as a process. Bloch poses the obvious metaphysical questions about having heaven in this world from the position of a Marxist and atheist who sees in religious decisions and statements aimed at the universal a corrupted, distorted version of a true, genuine worldly message.
