![“In Christianity, man was concentrated only on himself, he unlinked himself from the chain of sequences in the system of the universe, he made himself a self-sufficing whole, … [H]e no longer regarded himself as being immanent in the world, because he severed himself from connection with it[.]” quote by Ludwig Feuerbach](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/962/ludwig-feuerbach-3406_a-part_in-christianity-man-was-concentrated-onl_2059879.jpg)
![“In place of [the classic spirit] … entered with Christianity the principle of unlimited, extravagant, fanatical, supranaturalistic subjectivity; a principle intrinsically opposed to that of science, of culture. With Christianity man lost the capability of conceiving himself as a part of Nature.” quote by Ludwig Feuerbach](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/a66/ludwig-feuerbach-3406_a-part_in-place-of-the-classic-spirit-entered-w_1972749.jpg)
