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 encouraged submission rather than freedom, a source of guilt, fear, and obedience, and a barrier to scientific knowledge.
I am critical of Catholicism and Orthodox Christianity because he see them deeply tied to state power, enforcing extreme hierarchy, accumulating wealth, punishing heresy, suppressing knowledge, and functioning as political machines.
I do not admire Protestantism, but I see it as less hierarchical, somewhat more compatible with literacy and education, and more decentralized (in some forms). I still believe Protestant churches support capitalism and state power, but they are less oppressive than Orthodox or Catholic structures.
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.
I did not write much about Islam but from my general principles, I would criticize Islamic monarchies, the merging of religious law with state authority, clerical control over daily life.
Like many 19th-century anarchists, I had respect for Jewish mutual aid societies, their traditions of learning, resistance to oppression, but I criticize rabbinic authority and religious legalism
Hinduism? I respect their traditions of village communalism, their collective labor customs, their community irrigation, common lands, and guild-like structures, and their nonviolence movements (e.g., Jainism and Vaishnavism), but I strongly criticize the Hindu caste hierarchy, Brahminical authority structures, religious justification for inequality, the fusion of religion with state or landlord power, and all forms of ritual that reinforce obedience
