You know, whatever that means.
Man makes himself, and he only makes himself completely in proportion as he desacrilizes himself and the world. The sacred is the prime obstacle to his freedom. He will become himself only when he is totally demysticized. He will not be truly free until he has killed the last god.

A religious phenomenon will only be recognized as such if it is grasped at its own level, that is to say, if it is studied as something religious.
