SERMON INFO
The Bible usually points out the negative when it refers to the Pharisees because religion without relationship tends to corrupt the individual and corrupt the masses.

Karl Marx, the father of communism, once wrote, "religion is the opium of the people" which is usually translated into English as "religion is the opiate of the masses." Here is Marx's entire quote in context which is a skewed view that comes from being steeped in a false religion rather than dedicated to God through a right relationship.

Religious distress is at the same time the expression of real distress and the protest against real distress. Religion is the sigh of the oppressed creature, the heart of a heartless world, just as it is the spirit of a spiritless situation. It is the opium of the people. The abolition of religion as the illusory happiness of the people is required for their real happiness. The demand to give up the illusion about its condition is the demand to give up a condition which needs illusions.

For Karl Marx, the problem with religion lies in the fact that an opiate drug fails to fix a physical injury (we now have the opioid epidemic). Opiates merely help a person forget the pain and suffering. Relief from pain may be fine up to a point, but only as long as you are also trying to solve the underlying problems causing the pain.

Similarly, religion does not fix the underlying causes of people's pain and suffering — instead, it helps them forget why they are suffering and gets them to look forward to an imaginary future when the pain ceases (this is true of false religion that promises a future with God without trusting Christ as Saviour).
