Likewise, Dawkins et al. don’t inherit from any of the major philosophers in the socialist family tree that I know of;

Well, Hitchens always considered himself a socialist.

Moreover, the broader socialist movement isn’t at all incompatible with religion: consider liberation theology.

I could say the same about transhumanism.

  I wouldn’t say you’re wrong, but as I haven’t seen anyone in this thread encouraging the lady in the OP to reject her conversion on transhumanist grounds, I’m again not sure why you’re bringing it up.

  (BTW, many socialists would deny him the honor. Me, I think his reputation was certainly quite spotty from any ideological view—not that I hate him or anything.)
