Well if they went beyond bring a religious institution than religion wasn't the thing that solved it.
People always mention churches going above and beyond and acting like charities and I'm ok with the charity but why did u need the religion being involved? By merging it with concepts like charity all it does it is allow it to spread easier and thus that spreads the worse parts of religion that are baked into all religions that i can think of from the top of my head.
I mean, I agree. I am not religious myself.
I was merely arguing that what was going on in the GDR was in any kind natural.
What's going on now, with the churches in Europe bleeding followers with people losing interest as the being religious is not something that is expected of you anymore in societial standards, is way more natural.
