If God Is, Man Is a Slave
If God is, man is a slave;
now, man can and must be free;
then, God does not exist.
God and the State is an unfinished manuscript by the Russian anarchist philosopher Mikhail Bakunin, published posthumously in 1882. The work criticises Christianity and the then-burgeoning technocracy movement from a materialist, anarchist and individualist perspective.
