How does he justify this in the first place? I would say some sort of animism is probably the natural state of humans. Monotheism and atheism arise out of modern (capitalist) society.

what did he mean by this
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. It is the opium of the people.
The abolition of religion as the illusory happiness of the people is the demand for their real happiness. To call on them to give up their illusions about their condition is to call on them to give up a condition that requires illusions. The criticism of religion is, therefore, in embryo, the criticism of that vale of tears of which religion is the halo.

Judaic monotheism has existed since before feudalism. Monotheism in general is probably as old as language.
