Does the belief in a god go against dialectical materialism?

No. However, idealism can be “bent” to adhere with materialism, but it won’t hold any predictive power.

As such, ideology like religion can only tail and not progress. But sometimes, that is enough as long as it’s continuously being bent by materialist analysis, and may be used as a ratchet against reactionary ideals.
