Abstract
In the Treatise on Livy and the Prince, Machiavelli launched a double critique of Christianity. Machiavelli proposed his own new interpretation of religious belief by discussing the characteristics of the enemy of Christianity (Roman religion). He believed that religion was only a political tool manipulated by people and not divine, and criticized Christianity from the opposite side. Machiavelli criticized Christianity from a positive perspective by presenting views contrary to the Christian doctrine on Moses, the sovereign virtue, the origin of religion, the Great Flood, and the Christian Reformation.
