Answer
In Feuerbach's analysis, Christianity is a projection of human needs and desires, ascribing them to an external entity. Religious concepts such as God and the afterlife are seen as reflections of human feelings and aspirations, rather than objective realities. Feuerbach argued that by recognizing this projection, individuals can reclaim these attributes and experience a more fulfilling human existence.
