Hey, let a hundred flowers bloom. Honestly, I can't predict if something useful will come of theological debate and inquiry; my pessimism is based on the myraid atrocities fomented by religious thought and practice over the past few thousand years. In my socialist utopia, I'd certainly leave a space open for the kind of religious inquiry that interests you.
