John Brown was a deep Christian too, so I don’t know maybe there is something to it after all.

Except the whole no gods thing
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.
You can certainly hamfist Christianity into supporting whatever political opinion you want, as is Christian tradition.
Generally I don’t like supernatural beliefs and the idea of a god makes me throw up but you do you.
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.
Yeah I like him, even if he had bad stances on some subjects (like Israel or abortion). He’s too much on the evangelical side to me, even if he was not an actual evangelical. But was right on sooooo much subjects!
I never got in to deep on his personal stances on certain issues, I thought the book propaganda was good though. I think lots of thinkers of his time had bad stances on Isreal though.
