You hate what you think materialism is. You have decided where this hated
idea is coming from. You object to this hated idea being "imposed" on
society. You have stated all that repeatedly, making it all abundantly
clear. Therefore I have strong doubts that you think there's "nothing
wrong" with someone promoting the idea you hate so much.

Actually I only refuted something Wells said and didn't comment on his
religion. That was someone else. (And actually someone did point out that
Wells was a Moonie which makes him a sort of a Christian, I think.)
