“Wie Hast Du’s Mit der Religion?” Religionstheorie Und -Kritik Nach Stirner

Abstract

Well before Friedrich Nietzsche had Max Stirner with great Gestus shouted (spelled) out the death of God and pulled away the veil of the realm of spirits. Religion critique after Stirner, which follows a clarified Enlightenment, can thereafter for all intents and purposes be only of two sorts: On the one hand, to explain how mankind (has) created its’ Religion and its’ Gods: Gunnar Heinsohn settles this. And on the other hand to point out: Which functional equivalents are themselves found as (religious) beliefs of humankind - freely adapted from Feuerbach: The truth of Religion is the need for it. The free self after Stirner, that knows rationally of the non-existence of God, chooses for itself its’ own respective God, or, it being strong enough, can leave it also as is.
