How does Marxism view Religion?

Timestamps: 1:03 Was religion invented to control people? 5:17 How did religion emerge? How did it evolve? 16:40 Different classes see religion differently 19:01 How will religion disappear? 23:41 How should communists act towards religious people? I would have discussed the policies of Socialist governments towards religion but the video would've simply gotten too long. I will discuss that topic in a future episode in my series on the Hungarian People's Republic. SOURCES: Engels, Anti-Dühring, Part III, Chap. V https://www.marxists.org/archive/marx...
