We, Reason, God

As has been previously discussed, derivable within Kant's system, as the third of the Practical Rational Ideas, is We, rather than his God.  Now, the function of the latter is to effect the rewarding of Virtue, i. e. the rewarding of the promotion of the Happiness of others.  Thus, that function is to compensate for an absence of social reciprocity.  But, a We is constituted by total mutuality.  Thus Kant's postulation is not necessary, as he asserts, but is contingent, and, more precisely, is contingent on a deficiency in social relations.  Thus, the contrast of We and the Kantian God makes explicit the implied alternative in Marx' concept of Religion as an opiate.
