Karl Marx, the most important philosopher of Communism, was born into a Jewish family. Later he become a Atheist and Evolutionist. He also made anti-semite statements like "Money is the jealous god of Israel, in face of which no other god may exist", "The god of the Jews has become secularized and has become the god of the world. The bill of exchange is the real god of the Jew. His god is only an illusory bill of exchange", or "What is the worldly religion of the Jew? Huckstering. What is his worldly God? Money.".

Marx stated: "Communism begins from the outset (Owen) with atheism; but atheism is at first far from being communism; indeed, that atheism is still mostly an abstraction." He brandmarked also religion as "the heart of a heartless world."
