Peter Kropotkin, you dislike religion. Is that correct?
I dislike religion as an institution. I see religion as a tool of rulers, a justification for hierarchy, a force that encourages submission rather than freedom, a source of guilt, fear, and obedience, and a barrier to scientific knowledge.
I do have respect—and sometimes admiration—for Indigenous spiritual traditions (particularly those that emphasize communal land, reciprocity, and ecological ethics), Buddhism (in some forms) if it is peaceful, non-coercive, and ethically focused., and Tolstoyan Christian anarchism because I like Tolstoy’s anti-state, anti-property, nonviolent ethics.
