of a class divided
society

there would be no
need for religion if
society had no
classes

which helps to keep working
class people happy with their
unfair situation in life in
favour of the upper class

drug which is
used to drown
out lifes
problems

thinking that their suffering in this life will be
rewarded in the next life thus making them
accept unfair decisions made by the upper class
- Karl Marx sees
religion as a feature
of a class divided
society
- "Religious suffering is, at one and the same time, the
expression of real suffering and a protest against real
suffering. Religion is the sigh of the oppressed creature, the
heart of a heartless world, and the soul of soulless
conditions. It is the opium of the people."
