Who single handedly destroyed religion, and/or the concept of God.
Not nietzsche, he was only saying that most christians of his time were slaves which means that most people then were already disillusioned

Such a thing is not possible. If you ask who made the most atheists, it would be difficult to choose between Marx and Darwin.
>>785241
No, that would be Aquinas

Whoever was the first to develop the concept of "Burden of Proof".

>>785229
No one.

>When Nietzsche announced the death of God, in other words, he was filling a role familiar in other ages, announcing an event that occurs on schedule in the life of each culture. The Greek historian Plutarch had announced the death of Pan some eighteen centuries earlier, around the time that the classical world was settling firmly into the end-state of civilization; the people of ancient Crete, perhaps recalling some similar event even further back, used to scandalize Greek tourists by showing them the grave of Zeus. Every literate urban society, Spengler argued, followed the same trajectory from an original folk religion rich in myths, through the rise of intellectual theology, the birth of rationalism, the gradual dissolution of the religious worldview into rational materialism, and then the gradual disintegration of rational materialism into a radical skepticism that ends by dissolving itself; thereafter ethical philosophies for the intellectuals and resurgent folk religion for the masses provide the enduring themes for the civilization to come.

I know who killed scholasticism

Nietzsche destroyed nothing, he only diagnosed a death that happened in the minds of the men of the west before his time.
His latter day followers did a wonderful job wrecking shit up though. Hitler worshiped the guy even though Nietzsche would have despised fascism had he lived to see it as a mass movement of political, anti-semitic stupidity. Leninism was basically Marxism-Nietzscheism, where an aristocratic 'vanguard party' was tasked with creating new values for the masses. Stalin banned Nietzsche's books yet had read them all and employed his ideas when it suited him. This is despite Nietzsche hating socialism and being severely anti-egalitarian.
Anarchists too were influenced by his works. In particular, his idea that old values had to be destroyed before new ones were created. Nietzsche also hated anarchists. He was about as anti-political as a man could be. Nietzsche wrote in a style that lent itself to misinterpretation, lent itself to piecemeal utilization. You have to read the entire body of literature the man published as one cohesive work unlike other philosophers that create books that stand on their own. Yet very few of his so called followers ever did that.
Finally, Nietzsche is the root of most new age religion. Aleister Crowley's Thelema is basically Nietzsche's work set against a quasi-metaphysical background (which Nietzsche also would have hated). Thelema combined with Theosophy inform basically all occultism to come after them, from Scientology to neopaganism.
Granted, there was no universally correct interpretation or application of his ideas. He himself noted this in Zarathustra's first part, where he tells his followers to disobey him and figure things out for themselves.
But reading some of Nietzsche's preditions of the future offered in his untimely meditations, twilight of the idols, human, all too human and ecce homo is frightening.

It's also worth noting that Nietzsche's understanding of the relativity of value also went towards informing Hayek, Mises and even Ayn Rand. All of this despite Nietzsche hating capitalism so much that he advocated taxing the wealthy merchants for the sole purpose of making them poorer, he called Napoleon the greatest humanitarian in Europe because Napoleon let men die from one bullet rather than from making 10,000 jacket buttons as part of capitalism's machine.
Anyways, here are some of his observations
1. The west no longer has values, they are gone and have been gone. Increasing faux-religious, nationalistic, socialistic, liberal/capitalistic and other fanaticisms are rising to fill the void caused by a lack of a metaphysical source of values.
2. The 20th century would end up being a complete write off as far as values were concerned, the west would waste it fighting wars of mass-ideology
3. The west would get into a stupid trade war within the next 50 years that would end up in a struggle for control of the world.
4. Two groups would control the outcome of this war: Russians, and Jews (Jews of course being those with financial dominance in London and New York)
5. If Germany could not get these groups on its side, she would lose the war.
6. The west would not legitimately begin to address its underlying issue of nihilism until the 21st century
7. If the west failed to find new values, it would be destroyed by civilizations that still have values and Europe would become an appendix to Asia, similar to what happened during the fall of Rome and rise of Christianity.

Wait, you're seriously gonna pull that idea from some bullshit article? Do you really think Nietzsche was a fucking key figure for the science of economics?
>>786945
The link is more of an alignment of like thoughts than a direct link, but it's quite easy to draw connections between Nietzsche's understanding of value and the Austrian school.
Jesus shouldn't have said the truth will set you free. That actually made Christians investigate the truth.
Paul, that crafty Jew, said it better when he adviced the sheep to distrust the "wisdom of the philosophers".
>Guys, wisdom is folly and this folly we believe in, lol it's actually wisdom. It know sounds crazy, but trust me guys!

The first time one of the Abrahamic religions seriously started getting into philosophy was during the Islamic Golden Age.
Avicenna, and Avveroes with their homie Aristotle started fucking shit up. In a few hundred years the belief was that the universe was never created, miracles are entirely metaphors, philosophy/science is equal to or greater than religion in understanding the world, heaven was just a metaphor for leaving a legacy in your life, and all minds were in fact part of 1 soul in a Hegelian Geist sense.
Basically things were already heading towards secularianism. After the Christians picked up the Scholastic tradition they were able to hold onto their religion by having papal condemnations against certain ideas (ie the eternity of the universe, ideas about the conservation of energy). Eventually Protestantism happened and people were allowed to look back at the banned ideas. Than we got Spinoza who turned the entire scholastic tradition into something secular, Hume came along and destroyed whatever was left, Enlightenment, etc.
Basically they didn't burn enough books to prevent this from happening
>>785258
hold the phone, how can someone possibly think atheism is new.
>>788416
Christfags on here seem to believe this, despite that atheism is older than their religion and that this is pretty well-documented.
In fact, this book was published a few months ago and shows that atheism has been with us almost as long as there has been western thought, but try explaining that to le redpilled crusaders of christ
