actually I unite (and struggle, and unite to struggle against oppressors) with a lot of people with religious views. The Catholic school girls in Chicago on Easter Sunday for example.

The head of the Church, however, is not someone I would unite with. What kind of fucked up things does Catholicism actually promote? While a lot of the followers of that religion, and all other religions, are inspired to fight against that shit from their religious convictions, while at the same time the doctrine from these same religions actually reinforces the same crap that they are opposed to. That is the contradiction between conviction and doctrine. And of course you have the religious reactionaries, take the KKK for example.
