Although very different philosphers, Marx and Nietzsche were extremely congruent on their views on religion, are these two minds right or is the church?

Nietzsche indirectly agreed with Marx’s disdain of any projection of humanity onto the ‘real’ world (the ideal realm), and shared the belief that religion was not only a human creation - “What? Is man merely a mistake of God’s? Or God merely a mistake of man’s?” (Nietzsche in Love 1986: 122) - but also the symptom of a disease: “To divide the world into ‘real’ and an ‘apparent’ world, [. . .] in the manner of Christianity [. . .] is only a suggestion of decadence – a symptom of declining life” (Nietzsche Twilght of the Idols 1888: 49).

Originally posted by josephwNo, no, I think they are looking for something a little more philisophical such as, "If communism dies and there is no one to witness it dying, has it really died or did it really exist to begin with?" Now were talk'in! Let the debates resume.
Communism is dead! The church thrives.
Edit: You see, simple truths are no good, it needs to be a brain teaser of some kind to have any interest.
