![How does Marxism view Religion?
Timestamps:
1:03 Was religion invented to control people?
5:17 How did religion emerge? How did it evolve?
16:40 Different classes see religion differently
19:01 How will religion disappear?
23:41 How should communists act towards religious people?
I would have discussed the policies of Socialist governments towards religion but the video wouldve simply gotten too long. I will discuss that topic in a future episode in my series on the Hungarian Peoples Republic.
