The actual expression is "Religion is the opiate of the masses" with no mention of any specific group. The saying is is one of the most frequently quoted statements of Karl Marx. The implication is that any religion, if it is used as an escape or an excuse to not deal with what you need to deal with, it is as if you were sleeping or on drugs. Or that religion is used by governments to keep the population quiescent.
