would you say that you have to believe in kharma to believe in buddhism? because i thought the buddha said something along the lines of 'many people will not achieve enlightenment in this life'. so he is saying if people dont seek enlightenment in this life, it is because they are not yet ready for it?

I'd be more inclined to go with Freud over Marx on their ideas about religion (although probably not on their ideas about dream interpretation ) actually.
Although they do both talk a lot of B*ll*cks.

I'd say that the formation of organised religion as a form of social control seems quite plausible.

Egyptians have found that the sun was the only, or one of the very few objects that didn't change. That's why the sun became (the only) god... They did that step further and went back to monotheism (temporary)... From that jewish religion derived... or am I having a gap there?
