"The criticism of religion is, therefore, in embryo, the criticism of that vale of tears of which religion is the halo. Criticism has plucked the imaginary flowers on the chain not in order that man shall continue to bear that chain without fantasy or conclusion, but so that he shall throw off the chain and pluck the living flower"
"The criticism of religion disillusions man, so that he will think, act, and fashion his reality like a man who has discarded his illusions and regained his senses, so that he will move around himself as his own true Sun. Religion is only the illusory Sun which revolves around man as long as he does not revolve around himself. It is, therefore, the task of history, once the other-world of truth has vanished, to establish the truth of this world"
Communism does not prioritize the destruction of religion, but religion is certainly illusory. The main task of communists should be to break the chains of commodity, wage labor, value, and property rather than prioritizing ending religion, but religious positions are at odds with a materialist analysis of the word, and is not very compatible in the end. We need to replace the illusions with the real solution to the suffering.
Religious comrades are fine. Still,
