I think Marxism is more Promethean and, after all, Prometheus was Marx's favorite Greek god. Prometheus brought down fire (civilization, culture, etc.) from the heavens to give to man.

So, for Marx (or this is my reading), people create God but they project / alienate their virtues and creative powers onto their creation which then keeps them submissive (or really, to other men who monopolize the explanation of divine powers). So men come to believe that God created them than the other way around. So, in capitalism, Capital becomes like God and the workers must make sacrifices to it when in fact people have become enslaved to other men who own the machines.

But as long as there are class struggles in the economic substructure (like in a workplace) in capitalism, that materialistic class struggle about means of production and allocation of resources will be projected into the political superstructure as an idea or a political movement, or a revolution (socialism or communism). Even if you don’t talk about the "fight club," the "fight club" is still there. So, socialists and communists are actually created by capitalism. Capitalism's own internal contradictions created capitalists' own biggest enemy. Therefore, you will also see pro-capitalist political superstructure (government, media, law, morality, religion and etc.) projected by the economic substructure's winners.

So even if capitalists are like God/eternity, socialists/communists will be born to be the supermen to kill God/go beyond eternity to accomplish wonders. That is the fate of socialism and communism.
