Christianity is the sigh of the oppressed creature, the heart of a heartless world, and the soul of soulless conditions. Christianity is imagined freedom and equality. Christianity is symbolic freedom.
So how can we free ourselves in reality?
We have already made great strides towards freedom in the West and developed countries.
We have freed ourselves from scarcity with modern economics;
we have freed ourselves from disease with modern medicine;
we have freed ourselves from tyranny with liberal democracy;
we have freed ourselves from superstition with modern science;
we freed ourselves from institutional slavery in 1833;
we freed women from subjugation with their emancipatation in the beginning of the 20th century;
and we freed children from sexual abuse in the last decade of the 20th century;
and we are freeing ourselves from war as the incidence of war is declining (click on -

All that is necessary now, at least in the West and developed countries, is to free our psyche.
