wis.dm - Religion is the Opiate of the Masses?

Probably more to it that I can't recall just now.

But Religion with a Capital R is indeed an opiate. Religion is just something you devote your life patterns to. It just usually associates itself with theistic beliefs.

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. The abolition of religion as the illusory happiness of the people is the demand for their real happiness. To call on them to give up their illusions about their condition is to call on them to give up a condition that requires illusions.
