The Gospel of Marx: A False Religion Explained Oct 03, 2019

Karl Marx once called religion the opium of the people—an imaginary coping mechanism that makes suffering in this world more bearable. His vision was a secular, atheistic one.

Today, Bruce Ashford, dean and provost of Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary, joins the podcast.
