Marx says…
“Religion is indeed the self consciousness and self esteem of man who has either not yet won through to himself or has already lost himself again.” Karl Marx
Today in my studies I came across this quote. I found it very interesting and I wanted to share it with you to see what you thought about it! The quote is found in a talk about Marx’s perception of religion and how it affects individuals and society.
Ask yourself a few questions: ‘What is he implying about religion?’ ‘What is Marx implying about individuals?’ ‘What type of religion is Marx referring to?’ I’m very interested to hear what you think.
What do you think?

I believe he meant that Religion was some outdated system which in a way politics has the same effect. It is used as a drug to keep people from not thinking. I am religious but in my own way as my conscience serves as my Guide and I believe in God but how many people can think OUTSIDE THE BOX AND SELF REGULATE? THAT IS ANOTHER MATTER..GREAT POST.
