No.

Karl Marx thought religion was the realm of stupid people.

If you were going to worship something, you were going to worship Marx and his government.

That said: religion is the realm of stupid people. Look at how many people use religion to justify their Socialist/Communist ideology.

Even the Pope is a big old Marxist.

I disagree. I think Marx felt that [Christian] religious people were less susceptible to the idolatry of Communism. Basically, he hated the competition.

There was no “if” about it. Government under communism must be glorified. Failure to do so places one at risk. Government is the fount of all blessing, according to communist doctrine.

>>> That said: religion is the realm of stupid people. Look at how many people use religion to justify their Socialist/Communist ideology.

Poor logic. That some people use some religions to justify socialist/communist ideology does not justify a logical generalization to “religion is for stupid people.”
