“[…] man is the God of man”

considerations about Feuerbach's atheism

Abstract

Feuerbach's atheism reconsiders God, not as an absolute substance, but as a projection of man into an outside as an object of reason. But this object of reason is nothing more than a subject, insofar as it desires a faulty object, that is, when the subject invents God, he does so in the form, measure and likeness of himself, as if to cover up all the lack that underlies him and takes him away from him. pain and suffering. Every man's victory is his own, but, as if he were aiming for false modesty, he attributes his glory to an ineffable other. But this God is man himself, the courage offered by God is man's courage. The radical nature of this humanity of God takes shape when it becomes possible to know about God's death and about his fearless assassins.
