Purpose of religion

Purpose of religionOne gentleman has written me that Marx said, “Religion is the opium of the people.” That means the Communists are very adamant against God consciousness because they think that religion has spoiled the whole social atmosphere. Religion might have been misused, but that does not mean that religion should be avoided. Real religion should be taken. Simply because religion has not been properly executed by the so-called priests, that does not mean religion should be rejected. If my eye is giving me some kind of trouble on account of a cataract, that doesn’t mean my eye should be plucked out. The cataract should be removed. So that is the idea of the Krishna consciousness movement—to remove the cataract from people’s religious vision.

The above is an excerpt from the book CIVILIZATION AND TRANSCENDENCE by Srila Prabhupada.
