While Vperedism disagrees with and is skeptical of traditional religion, he has a lot of respect for religion as an idea as it is able to cultivate emotion, moral values, and desires that are important to human society. He thinks that a new religious sentiment which would fit the world-view of communism by creating a new religion that was compatible with science and not based on any supernatural beliefs.

Vperedism believes in a process of God-Building to accomplish this. By combining the positive aspects of religion and transform it into positive humanistic values of a new communist morality, based around faith in man and man's potential. He thinks that destroying religion outright is too dangerous and undesirable when it serves as the moral basis for millions. Vperedism thinks that through God-Building, God would gradually be replaced with a new vision of humanity.

However, even though Vperedism wants this new form of faith and criticises religion for superstition and a lack of empirical investigation, he does not support state atheism. Instead, he values a form of state agnosticism, and wants people to come to their own conclusions of truth on the topic of religion.
