God-Building was an idea proposed by some prominent Marxists of the
Bolshevik faction of the Russian Social Democratic Labour Party which
proved to be very controversial. It was inspired by Ludwig Feuerbach's
'religion of humanity' and had some precedent in the French Revolution
with the 'cult of reason'. The idea consisted of the notion that in
place of the abolition of religion, there should be a meta-religious
context in which religions were viewed primarily in terms of the
psychological and social effect of ritual, myth, and symbolism, and
which attempted to harness this force for pro-communist aims, both by
creating new ritual and symbolism, as well as re-interpreting existing
ritual and symbolism in a socialist context. In contrast to the atheism
of Lenin, the God Builders took an official position of agnosticism. [1]
