 A key influence on the Critique of Hegel's Philosophy of Right is the writings of Bruno Bauer. Marx's metaphor is anticipated in two of Bauer's works: Die gute Sache der Freiheit and Der christliche Staat. In the former work, Bauer talks of religion as a cause of "opium-like stupefaction," while in the latter, he mentions theology's "opium-like" influence . Welcome be a religion that pours into the bitter chalice of the suffering human species some sweet, soporific drops of spiritual opium, some drops of love, hope and faith .
