More From Karl Marx

The abolition of religion as the illusory happiness of the people is the demand for their real happiness. to call on them to give up their illusions about their condition is to call on them to give up a condition that requires illusions. the criticism of religion is, therefore, in embryo, the criticism of that vale of tears of which religion is the halo.
Giving Up Real People
I think we all mistake certain things for happiness. i think we mistake comfort for happiness and we mistake pleasure for happiness, and entertainment for happiness, when really these are just things we use as proxies for our happiness. we use them to cheer us up or try and achieve brief happiness, when really happiness is something much more profound and long lasting and exists within us.
Cheer Mistake Thinking
The knowledge exists by which universal happiness can be secured; the chief obstacle to its utilization for that purpose is the teaching of religion. religion prevents our children from having a rational education; religion prevents us from removing the fundamental causes of war; religion prevents us from teaching the ethic of scientific cooperation in place of the old fierce doctrines of sin and punishment. it is possible that mankind is on the threshold of a golden age; but, if so, it will be necessary first to slay the dragon that guards the door, and this dragon is religion.
Children War Teaching
