Before the birth of philosophy, and by this means the science, the whole question of man over nature was answered by different religions. These explanations were passed from generation to generation through myths. A myth is a story of gods and aims to explain life and the world as it is.
For millennia, spread by a variety of world mythological explanations for philosophical questions. The early Greek philosophers attempted to prove that such explanations were not credible. There appears atheism.
The early Greek philosophers were critical of the mythology to the gods they represented, were very similar to men. For the first time in human history, was told clearly that the myths might not pass the fruits of man's imagination. Xenophanes (Greek philosopher, 570 BC), said that people have created gods in his image and likeness: "Mortals believe that gods are born, speak, similar to their own ... If the cows, horses or lions had consciousness and could play like men, they would create their gods in his image and likeness. "
At that time in ancient Greece, the thought gave her leap of evolution in a way linked to the myth for one thinking built on experience and reason. The aim of the early Greek philosophers was to find natural explanations for the process of nature.
Thus began the scientific quest (birth of science) behind the basic substance for the creation of life. So coming to an atom. Since then science has been putting mythology (religion) to the margin of existence, there where science has not yet arrived. In 1860, Darwin's natural selection with his puts in evidence the influence of divine life.
In the twentieth century European thinkers, put an end to the last gasp of religion on God's influence on humans. The German philosopher Feuerbach (1804-1872), reduces religion to anthropology, he departed from the experience of Christianity of his time to warn against the illusion that this was causing to the people. Says the idea of God originates in the feeling of dependence of man from nature, whose forces the scare. Christianity proposes the relationship between God and man. Feuerbach interprets this relationship as a dependency so it makes the choice of either God or man, for it reduces theology to anthropology, bringing the man himself to God to man.
Already Marx (1818-1883) intended to transform the critique of religion in this critique of politics, saying that any manifestation of religion alienates would be generated by economic alienation, so Marx's critique of religion and for him "... Religion is the opium of the people. "
Nietzsche (1844-1900) announces the death of God as a "good news" for the evolution of man, because it means permission for life to the world for the future. Just so the man could become the "Superman".
Freud (1856 - 1939), says that God is a necessity paternal child that man possesses, if no stern gaze and guard, the man can not walk.
Thus thinking atheist making the break from the mythology, science takes its place, showing that there is a rational explanation for things, without appealing to the metaphysical, and that for a simple pain-headed, no need to invoke the gods, just take an aspirin.
