The real conflict, I believe, is not "God vs. no God," but rather love vs. hate. Marxism is grounded in a deterministic view of history, where persons are sacrificed to the ideal state (the "god") and where progress is achieved by conflict between opposing social classes. It is the Darwinian idea of "the survival of the fittest," transposed to human society. The competition, the struggle between persons and social classes is simply nature's way of evolving toward the ideal Marxist society. Progress is achieved by struggle and destruction.'
