        I don’t think atheism is central to anarchism. Opposition to religion (in its institutional and hierarchical form) is, but not belief in a higher being per se.

        Anarchism can make Christianity non-authoritarian, and Christianity can teach anarchism how to be spiritual. Of course nor anarchism nor Christianity need each other, but I like how they complete each other.

          Not to mention quakers often gave communists spaces to organise in and hold meetings.

          There have been Christian anarchists. Jacques Ellul comes to mind. His book on propaganda is pretty good.
