“Those who live by the labor of others are taught by religion to practice charity while on earth, thus offering them a very cheap way of justifying their entire existence as exploiters and selling them at a moderate price tickets to well-being in heaven. Religion is opium for the people. Religion is a sort of spiritual booze, in which the slaves of capital drown their human image, their demand for a life more or less worthy of man.” SpiritualReligionCapitalismCharityImperialismCapitalProletariatCapitalistsImperialistsExploiters Book:Socialism and religion Source: Socialism and religion
