I don't know where I saw the book, but I read it because it caught my attention.
In the book, Lenin's views on religion are explained in his own words. Lenin, who expresses his ideas clearly without beating around the bush, harshly criticizes religion. He describes religion as the self-consolation of the proletariat exposed to capitalist oppression, and even Marx's statement that "religion is the opium of societies". He can't help but add his words.
Stating that a socialist must be an atheist or even an atheist, Lenin states that this is one of the basic principles of his party. However, he states here that religion is people's own problem and that the party should not be too oppressive in terms of religion.
Of course, this is not tolerance towards religion; It arises from the attitude of a part of the proletariat, which is not fully enlightened, regarding their religious sensitivity.
A short, clear and concise book. If you are interested in politics, history, socialism, Lenin, or if you have a completely opposite view to this idea like me and want to read it just for curiosity, this is a book I would recommend.
