Summary

This quote is a play on Karl Marx's famous statement that "religion is the opium of the masses." Here, the quote suggests that religion doesn't just serve as a dulling escape for the people but rather as a dangerous poison. It implies that religion has a toxic and harmful impact on individuals or society as a whole, likening it to cyanide, a highly lethal substance. By intensifying the metaphor, the quote suggests a negative view towards religious beliefs and their perceived harmful consequences.
