Religion is the dream of the human mind. But even in dreams we do not find ourselves in the emptiness or in heaven, but on earth, in the realm of reality; we only see real things in the entrancing splendour of imagination and caprice, instead of in the simple daylight of reality and necessity. Hence I do nothing more to religion- and to speculative philosophy and theology also- than to open its eyes, or rather turn its gaze from the internal towards the external i.e. I change the object as it is in the imagination into the object as it is in reality.
-Feurerbach
