Once again the "new christian right" is painting themselves as the oppressed when they themselves are the oppressors.
There's no law preventing Christianity. There are no jackbooted thugs kicking in your door dragging people out saying "where are the christians?!". The only opposition politically to christians is when those christians try to force non-christians to follow christian dogma. If you want to be a christian, go for it! We have the freedom to do that. However, your freedom stops when you try to force, by rule of law, others to be christians too.
I don't think that's what Marx meant, and by extension that's not what this piece means either.
Marx's opening lines roughly amount to "We're taking over this place, the oldtimers know it and fear us, so it's time to start making our demands known." It's a call to assume power, not a plea for sympathy.
Given any of the credit of Marx to Lindsay's changes to it I think are misplaced. I don't agree with Marx, but Marx's message is coherent. Lindsay is attempting to ride on those coattails of coherence with the antithesis of Marx's message.
Marx's is language also infused with a righteousness of the oppressed, by the oppressed. Modern day christian's attempting to use the same rhetoric fall flat because christian's aren't oppressed.
