About This Quote
Religion is no longer the opium of the people but the vitamin pills of the feeble. This quote says that religion is no longer used for addictive purposes but instead it has become a way to give to others. Religion has been a way to have connection with each other, especially to pray for each other. But today, religion is being used in a different way.
People use it to help them gain a connection with their God. Religion is no longer a tool used by the powerful to control the people but it is being used by the weak to help people feel better about themselves.
