Fighting religion distracts us from the goal at hand. Yes, religion is a tool used by capitalist, but why can't it be the opposite? We can appeal to the core Abrahamic principles of selflessness and charity. There is much we ourselves can take from religion that could help strengthen our cause. But at the end of the day, religion is still used to justify injustices, discrimination, and cruelty. We can't accept the pros of religion without understanding the cons.

Furthermore, the working class is largely religious. By committing ourselves to fighting religion, we would be alienating a large section of the working class which would be counterproductive to the revolution.
