I've always thought it was motivated by something like "there's no heaven, so let's make a heaven on earth"-type utopianism.

I'm with you on why I identify more with the right, minus their religious trappings, despite not being religious. I lost my religion because I'm just too scientific-minded to sustain it, even though I tried, so I also can't indulge fantasies that socialism, an economics/sociological prescription/outlook that defies logic, will work.
