Religion has always been an object of philosophical analysis and a platform for political practice. Philosophical thinking is unimaginable without its relation to religion, whether it negates or affirms the latter. Indeed, religion serves as a condition for philosophy. Althusser and Theology intends not so much to fill a gap in Althusser scholarship as to contribute to the contemporary radical left.
