Karl Marx while defining Religion as opium of masses had said that removal of religion would usher in 'real happiness' in place of 'illusory happiness' (provided by religion).
This quote is often repeated by all sorts of people when they want to speak against religion. But I disagree with it.
The fate of communist countries like Cuba, North Korea, Vietnam and state of Naxals including 'Urban Naxals' in India do not prove that being communist i.e. being without religion has made them any happier.
In the World's Happiest Nations Survey/Ranking, most of the time Christian countries come at the top. This settles the debate.
Karl Marx and his quote on religion should be ignored instead of being given undeserved credit for giving us a false theory.
