Marx Response Paper (RP1)

Read the selection from Karl Marx's introduction to "A Contribution to the Critique of Hegel's Philosophy of Right." Respond with a short post (2-3 paragraphs) in which you formulate a thesis that supports, refutes, or expands on Marx’s view of religion’s role in society. Consider the following questions as you write: Was Marx correct to call religion the “opiate of the people”? Does his view fail to recognize the positive benefits of religion? Or can his ideas be seen as important when they were written, but in need of revision in the modern world?
