"Religious suffering is, at one and the same time, the expression of real suffering and a protest against real suffering. Religion is the sigh of the oppressed creature, the heart of a heartless world, and the soul of soulless conditions. It is the opium of the people." (A Contribution to the Critique of Hegel’s Philosophy of Right - Marx)

Honestly, given all that is going on, I am of the opinion that we're better off with Leo in charge.
