The objective of this articleis to connect Matthew Arnold, that statesman of culture, with a tin of Tate and Lyle's Golden Syrup, a by-product of industrial sugar refining that has been named Britain's “oldest brand.” Bringing the lofty to the low, the sage to the sweetener, is an exercise in willful materialism. Reading Arnold's “sweetness and light” literally, as comestibles, and “culture” as a term that engages the culinary, puts Arnold into conversation with revolutionary nineteenth-century materialist theorists, in particular the German philosopher Ludwig Feuerbach. Although not commonly read now, Feuerbach's work was translated by George Eliot and influential on that of Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels: it is his materialism and his atheism that we see, modified, in their work. In his own time, he was also known for theories about diet and this article will, in part, show how these theories are inseparable from both his materialism and his atheism. True to its viscous, tacky nature, Golden Syrup arrives slowly and emerges late in my argument, but it will adhere Arnold to Feuerbach, and to an intellectual tradition that holds that what we eat, and whether and how we can eat, is as world-making as what we read. Sitting Feuerbach's self-avowed extreme materialism down at the table with Arnold's self-avowed extreme anti-materialism, I will show that they grapple with the same gods – the gods of Christianity, capitalism, and cultural immortality – and that they both conclude that we make and remake our world by digesting it.

O objetivo principal do estudo é explorar a relação existente entre a religião e a política nos escritos de Antonio Gramsci (1891-1937), investigando a religião a partir da atuação da Igreja Católica no contexto histórico-político italiano. A pesquisa também retoma esta discussão no pensamento de Nicolau Maquiavel (1469-1527), em Ludwig Feuerbach (1804-1872), explorando nesse, especialmente, o conceito de alienação, e ainda em Karl Marx (1818-1883) e Friedrich Engels (1820-1895), até chegar à questão em Gramsci. Esse percurso é necessário porque a investigação do político italiano remonta ao papel exercido pela Igreja no contexto da Idade Média, que tem a religião como ideologia oficial e a gênese dos movimentos populares que se distanciaram de tal ideologia. Somente após a compreensão do papel da religião ao longo da história é possível dar sustentação teórica solida à questão da religião como instrumento político em inúmeros períodos da história da Civilização Ocidental. Porém, o presente artigo não visa esgotar a discussão sobre a temática, mas apenas trazer à baila este, que é um tema muito recorrente na atualidade.
