“The foundation of irreligious criticism is: Man makes religion, religion does not make man. Religion is, indeed, the self-consciousness and self-esteem of man who has either not yet won through to himself, or has already lost himself again.

Religion is the sigh of the oppressed creature, the heart of a heartless world, and the soul of soulless conditions.

Religion is only the illusory Sun which revolves around man as long as he does not revolve around himself.”
