The author examines Bakunin’s and Herbert Read’s views on religion. Bakunin perceives history as a road to progress; religion belongs to the past and will disappear with science and modernity.

ABSTRACT
This essay was originally published in the French-language journal Refractions 14 (Spring 2005 pp. 43-52), which was a special issue on religions , values and identities.

The Mormon Worker is not devoted to criticizing the institution and leadership of the Mormon Church, but rather (...)

When I was asked by the Anarchist Research Group to talk here today, I resolved to tackle a difficult subject which we tend to ignore because it doesn’t fit our view of the world but which is going to affect us all, anarchists and non-anarchists, increasingly: the rise at the end of the twentieth century of religious fundamentalism.
Among the classical anarchists, the characteristic statement on religion came from the most widely-circulated work of the Russian anarchist Michael Bakunin, God (...)

RELIGIOUS ANARCHISM - No 4 - May 2003
The idea of these "Religious Anarchism" bulletins is not to promote religious anarchism or religion in general or particular forms of religion but to show that there are or have been people who on rational grounds consider(ed) themselves both religious and anarchists. It is also not to unite all the anarchists of whatever tendency in a worldwide anarchist sister and brotherhood but to do something against mutual disparaging with its resulting (...)
