Anatoly Lunacharsky, one of the pre-revolution members of Lenin's party and the Commissar of Enlightenment after the revolution. He proposed a new accommodating religious sentiments to the world-view of Communism by creating a new religion that was compatible with science and not based on any supernatural beliefs. He called it 'bogostroitel'stvo' (God-Building). He and his supporters argued that marxism was too mechanically deterministic with regard to human beings and that it alone would not be able to inspire masses of people. They considered that religion was needed by people to function.
