Was Hegel Christian
or Atheist?

The Gospel portrays Jesus as one who wished to inspire us to a free morality which arises from within our own hearts, rather than from the Law. Observance of the Law isn't nearly enough to constitute morality and Ethics. He wished people to be free from authoritarianism, legalism, to act in goodness freely, without force or obligation. This is Ethical religion. For Hegel, this is the only true religion. ...

Hegel was one of the first great liberal believers. These liberal believers rationalize so much Scripture that no fundamentalist doctrines are left. The reason the Hegelian School split into Left and Right is because of a confusion in the theology department. This made the issue political, and the politics of that era confused everything for more than a century.
