Is Marx a religious phenomenon?

Why I, a non-Marxist, study Marx - Marx as a religious phenomenon.

Marx criticized religion.

As one religious person, what do I say to Marx's criticism of religion?

This is a big challenge for me.

I am not a Marxist.

However, Marx had the magical power to move people all over the world. I think that is a fact. So what is the source of this magical power? Why did Marx's thought attract so many people? Who was Marx in the first place, and under what kind of historical background did he live? I believe that learning these things is a great clue to learning more about religion, or even about human beings themselves.
