    Sounds fair to me, we need less religion everywhere.

    What I don’t get is the right wing pushing this and the left wing being against it, while the hero of the far left said ‘Religion is the opium of the masses.’

      The rest of the quote is: “Religion is the sigh of the oppressed creature, the heart of a heartless world, and the soul of soulless conditions. It is the opium of the people.” Take from that what you will.

      I also don’t know that most people who identify as or are called left wing would call Marx their hero.
