What's with this ongoing lefty kick about religion and/or spirituality being an opiate (with some cul-cha jazz mixed in)? I've known plenty of lefties who've been fried to the gills with theory and ideology, and in many cases they were less free than the religious folk they dismiss or condescend to. Is this a perpetual rad posture, part of the Correct & Advanced Behavior expected of the pwog tribe? Or is it simply another form of delusion?
