Marx was atheist and had contempt for all religion, so what is your point? He had this to say about Christianity:
And I think he is pretty spot on with most of it...especially the first statement.
Quote:"The social principles of Christianity declare all the vile acts of the oppressors against the oppressed to be either a just punishment for original sin and other sins, or trials which the Lord, in his infinite wisdom, ordains for the redeemed.
"The social principles of Christianity preach cowardice, self-contempt, abasement, submissiveness and humbleness, in short, all the qualities of the rabble, and the proletariat, which will not permit itself to be treated as rabble, needs its courage, its self-confidence, its pride and its sense of independence even more than its bread.
"The social principles of Christianity are sneaking and hypocritical, and the proletariat is revolutionary".
And I think he is pretty spot on with most of it...especially the first statement.
