Marx's critique: Religion becomes a form of domination
Abstract
It examines the political proposal of those who defend that in the 21st century religion promotes the freedom of citizens with Marx's critique of religion in the 19th century. For this purpose, we take up Marx's denunciation of religion as a form of political alienation in the 19th century. Thereby we determine if religion is still the cause of political «alienation» of citizens or if it has changed, and in the 21st century religion is a liberating and emancipating agent. Finally, the contradiction incurred by a State which defends liberal thought and private interests at the same time is concluded.
