New It is an opiate.
And even a cursory review of world history would clearly demonstrate that. Religion is most often used as a means of oppression. But, don't worry the priests say, "It'll be better in heaven -- promise!". The "opiate" effect is that religion enables the proletariat to suffer more "in this life" on a promise of things to come "in the next life". Religion is the pain-killer for the working class in a capitalist society. Are we clear on that now?
