The subject of this article is antropological atheism of Ludwig Feuerbach who is one of the father thinkers of contemporary atheism. It’s main is to evaluate in respect of theism and to discuss the level of his consistency. According to Feuerbach, theism is an illusion. Man ascribes the attributes to the imaginary being which he/she want to reach but can’t. And than he/she put that imaginary being in place of God without being aware of it. This means that religion is nothing apart from man’s worship to himself. ‘Dependence’, ‘egoism’, ‘desire’ and ‘to want to be happy’ are the essential sensations and motivies of human psychology. Feuerbach claims that these are the origion of religion In addition to, in accordig to Feuerbach, religion is childhood dream of being human and, as long as an the level of civilization and culture are develope, man will be aware of this fact. In religion, Man neglects and forgets himself for that ascribe attributes of him to other being. Consequently, devoicity alienates man from himself. By putting ‘an impossible perfect’ in counter of man, religion is neglecting man from his nature, alienate man from himself. We have critically studied Feuerbach’s thoughts that we have summarized abow, in article and, have tried to prove that religion can not be an illusion.
