Any kind of Christian society would be dogmatic and restricted to ancient believes that are almost entirely without merit. For all the respect I have for religious people, I do not believe a free society should be held back from free thought.

However, despite these disagreements, Christian Socialism continues to be a significant influence in many Christian communities around the world.
