There's a reason Marx called religion the opiate of the masses - because it adds stability to the capitalist system he hated.

So you admit that religion is stupefying. What makes capitalism unstable, pray tell? Or are you directly quoting from Marx?

Religion is stabilizing and keeps people from trying to rob each other of their property and rights.
