Now that you know what communism is, we can get to the main topic: Is there room for religion in communism? Well, Karl Marx (that guy with the dope beard), the father of communism sure didn't think so, in fact, he said that "religion in the opiate of the masses". That sounds a bit harsh, but hey, Marx was one smart cookie.
But it does raises some questions though. Karl Marx theorized IDEAL communism. Now, we know that whenever people get involved, whatever it may be, things are far from ideal. If the communist countries in our world today are not ideal, would there no room for religion? Or would religion seep through the cracks of their "less than ideal" governing methods?
Tell me what you think down below.
Today in communist countries their should be religion because this isn't true communism. Since the communist countries are less than ideal that means there should be room for religion. Since there isn't ever going to be ideal communism than religion and communism should be able to work together is the same society.
