Quotations for discussion from two disparate people over the next couple of days. Karl Marx today , Margaret Thatcher tomorrow. Marx famously declared Religion to be ‘the opium of the masses , the heart of a heartless world…’ Its usually assumed that this means its effect is one of quietism on workers , and that ultimately religion encourages political conservatism. But is this true, or even half-true? Discuss.
