Sorry, but at least on one quote this text is lost in translation.
When Gramsci said "all these people have not realized..." it means, from a clear logical point of view, that once he starts explaining what those people didn't realize, that explanation is, necessarily, Gramcis' own opinion, and that opinion states that Socialism should not become christianity... but that socialism is precisely the religion that must kill Christianity. Religion in the sense that it is also a faith, which has its mystics and its practitioners; religion, because it has replaced the transcendental God of Catholics in their consciences with trust in man and his best energies as the only spiritual reality."
All that means that Gramsci really proposed "some grand plan to depose Christianity and replace it with socialism"... as a religion.
At the same time, any person knowing Gramsci's life and his Marxist positions knows that he always proposed and spiritual or idealist interpretation of Marxism.
I think that for the sake of intellectual honesty that most be corrected in the text.
