Thanks for answering!

No, socialism is understood to be the lead up to communism,so basically you are in the process of building a classless, moneyless and stateless society.

This has always been something that has confused me. If socialism is about leading to communism then why not just be a communist?

Nowadays I think it's safe to say that that is the case. Historically maybe less so if you look at previous "socialist" states. But I think that this is simply because social acceptance of LGBT+ people has increased in general.

This is good to here. As a Christian, I believe in rights for everyone.

While the term socialism has been abused to fool the working classes (I. E. national-socialism), socialism refers to a left-wing ideology.

But what about right wing socialism?

What would happen to religions?

Well, what would happen to religions in a socialist society? Would I as a devout Christian woman be allowed to attend church and practice my faith freely without fear of discrimination? I say this because aren't communists opposed to religion?
