Marx was an accomplished and brilliant economist and just because someone says they're doing something for religious reasons doesn't mean they are.
Even human sacrifice for instance which in the Mediterranean areas for instance was done in times of crop failure and served a material purpose of reducing the burden on food reserves. There's almost always a secular reason for horrifying acts if you look for it
I was thinking critically for instance I noticed that your statement was wildly generic and had little to no basis in reality beyond an ideological opposition to religion although to be honest the Marx thing just sounds contrarian

observation, critical thinking
