Atheismhasmovedfromtheintellectualplane, whereitwasinthelastcentury,totheexistential plane;fromthelevelofprovingatheism,tothelivingit;fromthenon-existenceofGod,totheexistence ofhumanity.Atheismpositsanewgod,namely,Man. ThepositionofMarxandEngels,thefoundersofCommunism,isthatmanhastransferredtoGodqualities andattributeswhichreallybelongtohim,suchas knowingallthings,possessingpowertodoallthings, unlimitedcompassion,unboundedloveandtorrential mercy.Man,theycontinue,hasdestroyedhisnatureby thistransferofattributestoGod;thusheemptied himself.Theonlywayhecaneverbehimself,isto takebackthosetitleswhichreallybelongtohim.
