And I have to say I’m dead impressed with the citation and so forth, though the only poems by Marx I’ve been able to trace are a bunch of love poems dedicated to Jenny Von Westphalen. Then he wasn’t an atheist. Idiot.
Quite. More generally, I’d be interested to see anything by Marx where he explicitly claims atheism. FWIW, my impression was that he thought the existence or no of God(s) irrelevent to the proper business of mankind. — "Do Unto Others As You Would Have Them Do Unto You." – Attrib: Pauline Reage.

Christianity creates a conflict in people they don’t know how to resolve themselves. They therefore have to rebel or keep going back to other people for reinforcement.

The name is Moses Hess. Who rules from above." Marx believed that "the One that rules from above" in fact existed. Then he wasn’t an atheist. Idiot.
Except that he didn’t actually believe that, even if he had a character in a poem say it. Marx wrote some verse early on that fits into the common Romantic-period "Satanism" exemplified by Blake, Byron, Shelley, Baudelaire, Swinburne, and many, many other major and minor poets of the nineteenth-century. — Dan Clore My collected fiction, _The Unspeakable and Others_: http://www.wildsidepress.com/index2.htm http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/1587154838/thedanclorenecro Lord We
