Religion has its functions in a society. As much bad as it's purported to have done, it's also done a lot of good (probably enough to offset the bad).

I don't know what was going on in Marx' mind when he uttered that. But if I were to guess, I believe he was alluding to the fact that Christianity quiets the common people down so that they are content with their lot in life, and as such won't rise up against the elites/ruling class?

Not to be rude but you remind me of Slave of the Beast.

I would highly recommend that you try and have a point in your next post.
