Abstract
Christianity, especially Catholicism, has received strong opposition on European soil, struggling for its disappearance. In the French environment, Michel Onfray rises as a great exponent of the movement, systematizing a true secular doctrine, an atheology. His passionate philosophy and militancy take on the shape of devotion, giving the movement the silhouette of a human religion, since God does not exist and faith is an illusion. According to anti-Christianity, real happiness lies in the pursuit of pleasure, which presupposes the eradication of any institution that imposes behavioral rules, especially religion. Onfray’s anti-Christianity is linked to Enlightenment and nihilism, but goes further, it is a kind of hedonistic positivism.
