Le socialisme est le plus souvent attaché à la critique matérialiste de la religion. Pourtant, des saint-simoniens à Jaurès, les socialistes français ont fait de la religion un point central de leur compréhension de la société et de leur projet politique. Face au dogmatisme des rétrogrades et à la réduction de la religion au rang d'opinion privée par les libéraux, les socialistes français ont défendu la portée publique de la religion comme expression du sentiment de sympathie et de respect de la personne. Plutôt que d'émanciper les individus de la religion, il s'agit d'émanciper la part religieuse de la vie sociale de ce qu'elle comporte de dogmatisme et d'obscurantisme. Le socialisme est alors tout à la fois porteur d'un projet de rationalisation du sentiment religieux et d'un élan spirituel de respect de la personne porté par l'éducation.
