That is a non-sequitur. Religion doesn’t lead you to socialism, but this doesn’t follow that the two can in no way be coextensive. Given the political polyvalence of most religious beliefs, and given that huge numbers of socialists have had religious beliefs, there is no reason to assume that one can’t engage with religious people simply because their faith doesn’t automatically incline them in that way.

That is a straw man. I can’t imagine anyone advocating not engaging
with politically sympathetic religious people. Who did?
