Religion doesn’t count. We’re on Lemmy, so neither does communism.

most versions of religious idealism - probably the most popular examples of idealist schools of thought - are not idealist schools of thought.

This. I notice this is way more problem on reddit than here, a deprogram user once told me straight up that religion is materialist. I mean i know that human mind can hold conflicting ideas, but c'mon at least admit those are conflicting. More troubling result is support people give for let's say liberation theology which is just old class collaboration idea don't even pretending it will do any liberation whatsoever - if it was not religious, the same people would bash it heavily, but it's a new version of clerical socialism from a Communist Manifesto - a holy water which priest sprinkles on heart of bourgeois.
