So only the æoppressedÆ believe in God? How about all the remote tribes and inhabitants of island nations who believe in God?
How about all the nuns, priests and monks who believe?
None of these people would seem to fit the definition of being æoppressedÆ. And most of them would be largely unnaffected by a switch to a socialist system; are you, or was Marx, saying that they would cease to believe in God if that change took place?
For that matter, how about all the rich capitalists who are religious?
Why would religion suddenly become irrelevant to these people under socialism?
