Abstract

It is necessary to review the marxist critique of the religion. Marx did not elaborate a systematic work on the atheism, his materialism refers moreto a method of social analysis than to a philosophical conception or academic theory. We must advance in the overcoming of certain dogmatisms, of the science understood as absolute truth and the unique possible speech on the reality. The encounter between christians and marxists are expressions of deep human needs, longings and problems of our time.
