Religion as Opium to Masses

This delves into how the statement given by Karl Marx centuries ago is still relevant in the current world scenario. How it is pertinent when it comes to development in the 21st century. Opium is the drug that numbs all the parts of the body, makes you numb physically and then leaves your mind in a state where whatever said and done around you seems fine, and the most correct thing to one seems is to consume more of it. That is exactly what is the effect of Religion on us. We speak the language of it, we do what the preachers of that religion mention us what is the right thing to do, and are blind to other people under the same influence but from a different store i.e. different religion.
