Subjectivity of religion
Feuerbach uses imagery to describe the subjectivity of religion: "Entered with Christianity the principle of unlimited, extravagant, fanatical, supranaturalistic subjectivity; a principle intrinsically opposed to that of science, of culture." Here, the use of language and imagery emphasizes the impressionistic nature of religion, according to Feuerbach.
God
In this text, Feuerbach often analyses the Christian conception of God. He uses imagery to illustrate this, emphasizing God's established qualities of love, benevolence, kindness, and morality. For example, Feuerbach describes the idea of God in the following passage:
"God is pure spirit, clear self-consciousness, moral personality."
Nature
On the contrary to God, Feuerbach argues that nature is associated with darker, immoral imagery:
"Nature, on the contrary, is, at least partially, confused, dark, desolate, immoral, or to say no more, unmoral."
By describing nature in this way, Feuerbach utilizes imagery to create a sense of mystery and ignorance surrounding nature, because we don't know its origins.
