: 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?

Here I would have to agree with Rocky becuase he has a good point.. may people do not beieve in God just so they can go to heaven and have a great afterlife! I do agree with the fact that Socialism would be
so good that people would not need to need something beyond it.
