Karl Marx was an atheist. He had been born an ethnic Jew, but he was not schooled in the Jewish teaching or culture. At age 6, Marx and all his family became Lutherans. His father decided this, mainly because living and working in predominantly Lutheran Germany, it was expedient to be a Christian than a Jew. Later, as Marx formed his theories on historical evolution he came to see religion as irrational, undignified and hypocritic, hence he rejected all religions. Many indications show that he rejected his native Jewish religion the most.
It was a quotation from Karl Marx's 1843 Contribution to Critique of Hegel's Philosophy of Right .
"The opium of the people".
He described religion as the opium of the people, an illusion designed to make them accept the status quo.
