Look dumbass, that quote by Marx about religion being the "opiate of the masses" is actually very true.Many are placated by their religious beliefs and are addicted as folks are addicted to opiates. Marx never spoke against religion, he just said what he said and followers like Lenin, Stalin, and others misinterpreted what he said. Think objectively about just that phrase "opiate of the masses." Opiates make you feel good, so, you try to feel good often by taking them religion isn't anydifferent

(except the whole rest of the quotation. Plus, I don't think Wikipedia's quote was translated from the original text the same way, or perhaps the propper way. I dunno, I only read it in French, and heard it commented by Chris Hitchens, and the 'version' that was commented was the one I am talking about :
