Kierkegaard was strongly against of the religion called as the Lutheranism. During the period of the Kierkegaard research in Denmark, the Lutheran church was the official church. Whole state was in the favor of the promotion of the Lutheranism. All the schools were provided the training for the promotion of the Lutheranism in the city.

Kierkegaard felt that the system for the protection and control of the state under Lutheranism is against the Christianity tenets. The system of the Lutheranism strongly discourages the intense religious nature of the individual. It is directly affecting the faith of the people in the god.

He rejected the philosophy given by the Hegel because it was emphasizing on the rational and logical part leaving behind the irrational and emotional part of the human nature. He rejected the science being mechanistic. Faith in the god of an individual does not require the logical or rational or even any kind of the scientific explanation.
