"I desired that, if there is to be talk about philosophy, there should be less trifling with the label "atheism" (which reminds one of children, assuring everyone who is ready to listen to them that they are not afraid of
the bogy man), and that instead the content of philosophy should be brought to the people"
point out where he says he's not an atheist, he's complaining about people being militant about labeling, there's no argument against the content of the philosophy
he says he rejects the label & wants to treat with the essence & the social context of philosophy itself
In 1844, Marx writes about the critique of religion as contributing to the formulation of socialism, but that "Atheism, as a negation of God, has no
longer any meaning, and postulates the existence of man through this negation; but socialism as socialism no longer stands in any need of such a
mediation"
This is important because it's still about the material bearing that any of these philosophical renderings has on social life, and on the individual
"Religious suffering is at one and the same time
the expression of real suffering and a protest
against real suffering. Religion is the sigh of the
oppressed creature, the heart of a heartless world
and the soul of soulless conditions"
Dogmatic atheism for Marx in this sense is to attack humanity's means to abstractly or at the most socially alleviate its own suffering
Further, Marx writes: “everyone should be able to relieve religious and bodily nature without the police sticking their noses in"
In Capital Marx writes this: "This antagonistic stage cannot be avoided, any more than it is possible for man to avoid the stage in which his spiritual energies are given a religious definition as powers independent of himself. What we are confronted by here is the alienation [Entfremdung] of man from his own labour"
So while Marx was under the influence of the Enlightenment & specifically of Feuerbach's critique of theology (Feuerbach himself also rejected puerile "atheism" as such), Marx is approaching these things from a historical standpoint to reveal the very human essence at the heart of such striving

even Marx was not an atheist
Marx was a Muslim
Friends didn't call him "Moor" for nothing, I guess
