Hey Bhagwan

Politicising religion in Nepal has the potential to create major social and religious conflicts.

Karl Marx , the founder and primary theorist of Marxism , viewed religion as the " opium of the masses ". Vladimir Lenin, the founder of the Soviet Union, said, “A true communist would always promote atheism and combat religion.” During the first two decades of the Soviet Union, “some 200,000 members of the clergy were murdered”. Mao Zedong established state atheism in the People's Republic of China. He considered popular religious movements seditious. The Chinese Communist Party’s national security agency monitors citizens' religious activity.
