A primer of the often overlooked yet significant writings of Marx on religion.

In the current research work, the economic importance of this development is not the main focus area. The main focus area is Marxism and religion. The main point of contention is not what Marx thought about religion.

This work brings together new translations of Marx's most important texts in political philosophy written after 1848.

In this collection of essays and letters by Marx and his colleague, Friedrich Engels, the founders of Marxism discuss their perspectives on the origins and essence of religion.

Reprint of the original, first published in 1844.
