Summary
Religion is one of the issues on which the Marxian corpus – the writings authored or co-authored by Karl Marx himself – is deficient. Although there are plenty of references to religion in Marx’s oeuvre, his most quoted statements on the topic belong to the initial transitional phase in his intellectual trajectory during which his break with the Young Hegelians unfolded.
