But liberation theology was the actual name of a Christian movement that sought to do that. When other religions do the same thing I think it should have its own name because it's weird to just give them all the Christian name for it. It's like saying you've been going to a Hindu church

I am pretty sure the name for the combination of Confucianism and Marxism is Confucian Marxism for example

that's what this paper from a Chinese university's school of Marxism studies called it anyway

sure, but to me i think there is value in having a general term for an interpretation of religion through marxism. there isnt anything inherently christian about the name 'liberation theology'.
