Marx sharply criticized those who tried to solve their problems philosophically or religiously, i.e., in thought

Virtually every individual profesing to be a Marxist/Leninist believes dialectical materialism is the proper philosophy for understanding and changing the world. Indeed, what dialectical materialism is to the Marxist, God is to the Christian, Virtually all the ways Christians describe God - eternal, infinite, uncreated, indestructible, lawgiver, life, mind, etc. - Marxists assign to dialectical matter. Making matter the essence of all things is called metaphysical materialism, This philosophy affirms matter as ultimately real and denies the reality of God. It is a "sort of godless theology."
