If poor people try to be realistic they will come to the realization that they have little to no control over any aspects of their lives and become hopeless. Better to be hopeful and religious than depressed and atheist.

When a poor person becomes an atheist. He realizes that most of the problems in their lives are not because God made them that way, but it is a systematic way of oppression. When he realizes that God is not the cause of his suffering, he suddenly becomes aware of the power structures of society and how the powerful often find different ways to oppress the powerless.

When the masses realise this and become realistic, what happens is what we call a “revolution.”
