This quote is reproduced a great deal and is probably the only Marx quote that most people are familiar with. Unfortunately, if someone is familiar with it they are likely only familiar with a small portion that, taken by itself, tends to give a distorted impression of what Marx had to say about religion.
Karl Marx on Religion
Is Religion the Opiate of the Masses?
Religious distress is at the same time the expression of real distress and the protest against real distress. Religion is the sigh of the oppressed creature, the heart of a heartless world, just as it is the spirit of a spiritless situation. It is the opium of the people. The abolition of religion as the illusory happiness of the people is required for their real happiness. The demand to give up the illusion about its condition is the demand to give up a condition which needs illusions.
Karl Marx, Critique of Hegel’s Philosophy of Right
Blah Blah blah! All people are religious! You too are not exempt! Your religion is the Devil! You either serve God or Satan it's not difficult! Satan rebelled and anyone who rebels God is "religiously" serving the Devil out of their own vanity! Thats exactly what Satan wanted 6000 years ago when he rebelled, you are no different, only lost! You are either in bondage to THE God or the Devil! Your spirit bears this recognition Romans Chapter 2. I pray for your lost soul my friend!

Wrong...I consider myself an agnostic....I don't practice nor follow any type of religion.
Everyone thinks THERE religion is the right one and everyone else is wrong, therefore I don't follow any.

Thank you Hibernus, kinda makes things snap into place. Ephesians, calm down a bit. WWJD? Not what you are. I too consider myself agnostic. Matter of fact, if people were honest with themselves, almost everyone would fall into that category as it covers the wide range between Mr Ephesians and the most thoroughly convinced atheist. Thanks again Hibernus.
