"The impotence of the exploited classes in the struggle against the exploiters just as inevitably gives rise to faith in a better life after death, as the impotence of the savage in the struggle against nature gives rise to faith in gods, devils, miracles, etc. Religion teaches humility and patience in earthly life to those who work and are in need all their lives, consoling them with the hope of a heavenly reward. And religion teaches charity in earthly life to those who live by the labor of others, offering them a very cheap justification for their entire exploitative existence and selling them tickets to heavenly well-being at a reasonable price. Religion is the opium of the people. Religion is a kind of spiritual moonshine in which the slaves of capital drown their human image, their demands for a life at least somewhat worthy of man." Vladimir Ilyich Lenin
