If you are not against the oppressor, if you are okay with allowing oppression to continue happening for any reason, you are on the side of the oppressor. You cannot be an ally from a neutral position, you need to pick your side and commit.

This is why if you want to be an ally to people of color it's not enough to not be racist, but rather you need to be anti-racist. We're seeing more and more how neutrality is dangerous in allowing systemic issues to exist and flourish (see elected Democrats in major American cities, the "not racists", allowing the police state to exist and perpetuate systemic racism). If you want to be an ally, you need to become comfortable admitting that the privileged position of neutrality isn't compatible with allyship.

This is religious dogma and I support your right to believe it!
