I am convinced that we need to abandon all ideologies. They are dividers of people. They offer no actual solutions to problems (without, as in the case of Marxism and Nazism solving unemployment, creating others — such as totalitarianism). As meta-constructs for governing society, theologies have the same problems.

We need to accept that mutual respect is the ethic of justice. It follows from a belief in equality, but it also follows from observation within material existence. It can be applied to the economy, in the form of a "democratically distributed income," to eliminate unemployment, poverty, taxes, and public debt without curbing freedom — while increasing sustainability.
