The origin of Feuerbach

The think of Feuerbach above all about religion and his human atheism, he replaces theologian with anthropology, because he thinks that man has created God; this think is mere atheism but his origin is directly from Hegel and from German Protestantism; Hegel was protestant therefore believer, but Feuerbach employed some thesis of Hegel and he translated in his think: when Feuerbach spokes about difference between man and animal, he describes man as a being that has he and other, this is his essence and other man that is similar therefore he can speaks to himself because he is he and other person, that has same essence. The religion is identified by Feuerbach with consciousness and self-knowledge, this is consciousness of his essence; in conformity to opinion of Hegel self-knowledge is possibility to man of knowledge other man. As for object, natural object, in conformity of opinion of Hegel we have one first step with direct and sensitive knowledge, an external knowledge and follows other level of knowledge this is properties that the mind mediates between one object and much properties, this process is self-knowledge; in Essence of Christianism Feuerbach spikes same things: “As for object the man become conscious of himself, conscience of object becomes self-knowledge of man; in himself shows his essence.  Therefore we can think and consider that Feuerbach has red and red again Phenomenology of spirit of Hegel; but he has also took from German Protestantism, that has become human or better much human religion; in fact he spikes about Protestantism as religion that has become man as God, and human gender as laic.
