Marx, Darwin, Nietzche, and Sanger, who lived around the same time period, were Vicious Racists. It wasn't Marx's teaching of Communism, but Christ's Teaching of Gospel Values, that helped oppressed and suffering people. As for rewards and punishments, hear Jeremy Bentham: “Nature has placed mankind under the governance of two sovereign masters, pain and pleasure. It is for them alone to point out what we ought to do, as well as to determine what we shall do."
Christ's Teaching that we can store up Treasures in Heaven by Good Works like Alms-Giving greatly helps also the Present World, for it incentivizes greatly the performance of such charitable works, for the purpose of which, some holy Religious, like faithful Nuns or Sisters, even enter Religion, so that they can devote themselves to that duty nearly full-time. Hear Voltaire, himself fairly anti-Catholic, yet who still recognized: "Perhaps there is nothing greater on Earth than the Sacrifice of Youth and Beauty, often of High Birth, made by the Gentle Sex in order to work in Hospitals for the relief of Human Misery, the sight of which is so revolting to our delicacy. Peoples separated from the Roman Religion have imitated but imperfectly so generous a Charity".
