Marx, Darwin, Nietzche, and Sanger, who lived around the same time period, were Vicious Racists. It wasn't Marx's teaching of Communism, but Christ's Teaching of Gospel Values, that helped oppressed and suffering people. As for rewards and punishments, hear Jeremy Bentham: “Nature has placed mankind under the governance of two sovereign masters, pain and pleasure. It is for them alone to point out what we ought to do, as well as to determine what we shall do."
Christ's Teaching that we can store up Treasures in Heaven by Good Works like Alms-Giving greatly helps also the Present World, for it incentivizes greatly the performance of such charitable works, for the purpose of which, some holy Religious, like faithful Nuns or Sisters, even enter Religion, so that they can devote themselves to that duty nearly full-time. Hear Voltaire, himself fairly anti-Catholic, yet who still recognized: "Perhaps there is nothing greater on Earth than the Sacrifice of Youth and Beauty, often of High Birth, made by the Gentle Sex in order to work in Hospitals for the relief of Human Misery, the sight of which is so revolting to our delicacy. Peoples separated from the Roman Religion have imitated but imperfectly so generous a Charity".

Done a bit of research into how Africa could have gone from a "missionary's graveyard" to the religion of hundreds of millions of people. It's not because God took time out of His busy schedule to flex His miracle powers for them. It's because of several factors that can easily be down to Man's Work.
For instance:
* Missionaries actually coming from Africa and not from other countries actively trying to exploit them. To this day, most of the successful evangelism in Africa comes directly from indigenous missionaries.
* Taking advantage of high birth rates. Religious parents tend to pass their religion down to their kids, and, well, just look at this map of countries by fertility rate.

Actually, the Gospel is oppressing people in Africa, even now. It is a real tragedy what Christianity is doing there.
But pedophile enabler Nishant does not care about the oppressed people, he only cares about the idiotic ideology that is Christianity.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

Envy, Jealousy, Hatred of Christians and Christianity, and its success and accomplishments for Humanity as a whole. That's where this Marxist Militant Atheism comes from. Go labor for the benefit of humanity in Africa like so many Good Christians have done and then after you've spent hours doing that you can spread hatred against Christians once more.

But pedophile enabler Nishant does not care about the oppressed people, he only cares about the idiotic ideology that is Christianity. It’s rather telling that he thinks God’s more interested in performing miracles for Africans, but not at all interested in warning his own damn church that their approach to handling sexual abuse in the priesthood is going to bite them in the ass pretty soon.

Christians are the ones spreading hate. People are dying in Africa because of primitive Christian ideology and the pedophile enabler Nishant does not care.
Here is Catholic Church publicly keeping a convicted pedophile priest on active duty, where he is still raping kids and no one can do anything about it because it is in rural Africa. Nishant will defend this because he is a pedophile enabler.

Atheism does not require you to accept anything, fool. Quite the opposite.
You are still not listening, but preaching.

Becoming an atheist was the natural consequence of finally acknowledging, after multiple attempts, that I didn't find any religion convincing.
