Are Marxists, Closet Christians?

Sounds odd, but I've been listening to some credible historians recently, namely Elaine Pagels who talks well about the apocrypha.

She's saying Christianity, as an institution, has always been anti Jew. Because ~2000 years ago, Christians had to believe that Jews killed Christ, not the Romans who actually did. 

Why did they have to believe this? Because the Romans were on a rampage putting down any insurrections with brutal force at the time. Christians could not safely be seen to be blaming the Romans. As a survival strategy, they whole heartedly blamed the Jews, to survive at all.

But this mindset became normalised, so much size that, it became doctrine. 

This led to them going onto to persecuting the Jews after the Roman empire adopted Christianity, just as much as the Romans had done. And we can see it playing out over the next 1500 years or so, across western civilisation until today.

It's all there latent in Mark too. But the canon masks it well. 

I also think this fits with my experience with my Labour party Marxists friends. They really really hate Jews. It's not possible to have a rational conversation with them about it. Its hard to understand why. That Marx and Engels both hated Jews is a historic fact. I think at a stretch because even atheist Marxists are closet Christians but do not know it. They still blame the Jews for killing Christ.
