Fake Marx makes a good point though
This is not what Marxists believe. Religion is the opiate of the people, a way to numb suffering in a world full of pain and deprivation. The first requisite to a happy people is improving material conditions. All communist experiments believe this. Religious institutions are a different matter, where states deal with them situationally
If you like your opium, you can keep it
Yaroslavsky's "Religion in the USSR" is a very interesting work to me (he was the leader/founder of the Militant Atheist League), also check out the Little Lenin Library compilation titled "Lenin On Religion". Both are short if people are interested in reading them.
