God Arises
Challenge of Modern Knowledge

backward classes, and religion and morals were
invented to provide an ideological basis for
safeguarding the interests of the ruling class.
According to the Communist Manifesto, laws,
morals, and religion—all are the fraudulent
innovations of the Bourgeoisie under the cloak of
which most of its vested interests are hidden.
Addressing the third All-Russia Congress (October,
1920) Lenin had said that: of course, they did not
believe in God. They knew very well that the
church authorities, landlords and bourgeois who
spoke with reference to God, were simply interested
in safeguarding their own interests as exploiters…
They denied all such moral laws, as had been
borrowed from a Super-human power, or were not
based on the concept of class. They called this a
hoax, an illusion, the befogging of the minds of
farmers and labourers in order to serve the interests
of landlords and capitalists. They asserted that their
moral code was subject to the class struggle of the
Proletariat alone, the source of their moral principle
being the interest of the class-struggle of the
Proletariat.
