Normative-ideal religion is good and beautiful. But religion as a social reality as exhibited by its followers is not without its shortcomings and deviations. It is understandable that religion, which itself counts social criticism among its strengths,has become a frequent target of criticism today.

A particularly pointed criticism on diversity came from Karl Marx. In his view, many people ran to a life of religion to escape their defeat in political power struggles and economic strife. Exhausted by the economic war, they sought tranquility in the metaphysical world.
