Subjective Religion IS a Projection

"In The Christian Faith Schleiermacher defined the nature of theology in terms that place it firmly on one side of the divide between the world of public facts and the world of private values. 'Christian doctrines,' he writes, 'are accounts of the Christian religious affections set forth in speech." ... "It is clear that Feuerbach was only drawing the obvious conclusion when he said that the very idea of God is a brockenspecter, the projection of an image of the human ego onto the cosmos."
