Max Stirner. The only one and his property (№ 212001)

Negative Holiness sends his forces against piety, fear of God would determine his attitude to all that he continued to be considered sacred. Does the Holy power of God or the person of the God-man, is, therefore, something sacred in the name of man (humanity), - this does not change the fear of God: after all, the man is revered as "Supreme being" to the same extent as in a special religious area God as "Supreme being", requires that we and fear, and reverence, and both of them inspire us with awe.
True piety has long been shaken, in common usage involuntarily became more or less conscious atheism, which is expressed externally in the broader development of "masterconnect". But what was taken from God and given to man, and the power of humanity grew as to downplay the influence and importance of godliness. Man as such is the current God and his earlier fear now gave way to fear of man.
But because man represents only another Supreme being, then, in essence, the Supreme Being was only some metamorphosis, and the fear of man is fear of God only modified.
Our atheists are pious.
If the so-called feudal era, we all received in fief from God, in the liberal period established a similar dependence on Lenno "man": first God was the Lord, now this gentleman was a man. God was the mediator now a mediator became man, God was a spirit now spirit became man.
