He goes on to examine the \"false\" essences of religion, including contradictions in ideas of the existence of a deity, and then how God and religion are merely expressions of human emotion. This is essential background reading for understanding everything from Marx's Communist Manifesto to modern apolitical philosophies of atheism.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cosimo Classics","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46884851417239,"sku":"9781605204444","price":3322.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781605204444.webp?v=1770245031","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/the-essence-of-christianity-9781605204444","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
