It is argued in this article that to reduce Marxism to atheism, or to focus exclusively on that aspect of Marx’ thought, as many orthodox Christians do in all good faith, is in many ways counterproductive. Conspiracy theories about Marxism is of no assistance either in working towards a just and peaceful society. Marxist sentiments that do occur in a society should rather be interpreted as an indication of untended social ills. To have only eyes and ears for Marx’ critique of religion might imply the deliberate neglect of social problems, thereby giving credit to that very critique of religion.
