'Religion is the general theory of this world, its encyclopaedic compendium, its logic in popular form, its spiritual point d’honneur, its enthusiasm, its moral sanction, its solemn complement, and its universal basis of consolation and justification.' Karl Marx

Marx speculated that if religion were abolished there may be a bigger demand for emancipation from class divisions. The West 'abolished' religion & people embraced consumerism instead, we now can see that true religious sentiment was instead an obstacle to consumerist society.

Those who now want the main religions abolished are the Western oligarchs who don't control transcendental religious narrative: such as the "liberal" atheist ones. Hence the post-Marxist-Liberal alliance in the media such as Guardian, NYT, Economist, BBC etc.
