Marxist Critique Of Religion Thought

Revolutionary idea or critical mentality is the soul of Marx's theory.Critique of religion,as the prerequisite of the other critiques,is of significant influence among Marx's theory,although critique of religion is not the core of Marx's philosophy.Marx criticizes Hegel's rationalism,Feuerbach's humanism and Stirner's romanticism and nihilism about religious opinion,which apparently shows that Marx not only inherits but also surpasses those critiques of religion of modern times——Renaissance,Enlightenment and Romanticism.The critiques of religion not only open the door for religious secularity,but also hasten the emergence of modernity.Modernity develops on the base of ration and subjectivity,which critiques of religion play an assignable role.Marx's critique of religion can not be regarded as simple negation,but a sublation.On one hand,Marx denies the religious world which is abstractive,visional,and apart from the true life and its secular basement.On the other hand,Marx's theory which start from critique of religion also criticizes the ration and subjectivity in the modern times,which set a value aim for realistic person——man's overall liberation and gives a way out for human's spiritual crisis to some degree which follows the absence of God.Additionally,Marx's opinion of religion also points the direction for socialist countries to make religious policy and to deal with religious issues.
