Here is the quote in partial context:

“Religious suffering is, at one and the same time, the expression of real suffering and a protest against real suffering. Religion is the sigh of the oppressed creature, the heart of a heartless world, and the soul of soulless conditions. It is the opiate of the people.”

(From “Contribution to Critique of Hegel’s Philosophy of Right,” by Karl Marx, 1843.)
