Karl MArx is often misquoted as stating that religion is the "opiate of the masses." Specifically, what Marx said was that "Religious suffering is, at one and the same time, the expression of real suffering and a protest against real suffering. 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."
