Marx's Critique of Capitalism

Marx was deeply influenced by Forbach, which means fire stream. Forbach made this proposal that religion is not the arena in which Geist has been unfolding itself. Instead, he argues that religion is a projection and distorts human beings' role within historical processes. So what Marx does is he says, okay, once we get rid of the religious distortion and we shift to the material monster, we see the dialectic at work there.
