The Root of America’s Division
Timothy Keller writes: “Karl Marx and others have charged that religion is ‘the opiate of the masses.’ That is, it is a sedative that makes people passive toward injustice. . .

Christianity, however, teaches that God hates the suffering and oppression of the material world so much, He was willing to get involved in it and fight against it. Properly understood, Christianity is by no means the opiate of the people. It is more like the smelling salts.”
