This became just another religion for Stirner, a "change of masters" over the individual. Feuerbach had taken a set of human qualities and deified them, making them the only prescriptive view of humanity. But according to Stirner, Feuerbach's philosophy, while rejecting a God, left the Christian qualities intact.

Feuerbach had argued that Christianity was mistaken in taking human qualities and projecting them into a transcendent God.

Stirner sees Feuerbach's philosophy as merely a continuation of religious ways of thinking. Stirner's critique of a progressive view of history is part of his attack on the philosophies of the left Hegelians, especially that of Ludwig Feuerbach. Thus the Reformation only served to further enslave Europeans under spiritual ideology. The Reformation also strengthened and intensified religious belief and made it more personal, creating an internal conflict between natural desires and religious conscience. According to Stirner, Reformation theology extended religious domination over individuals by blurring the distinction between the sensual and the spiritual (thus allowing priests to marry for example). Stirner's critique of modernity is centred on the Protestant Reformation. Stirner sees moderns as being possessed by ideological forces such as Christianity and the ideologies of the modern nation state.

Stirner's analysis is opposed to the belief that modern individuals are progressively more free than their predecessors. Part one is a sustained critique of the first two periods of human history and especially of the failure of the Modern world to escape from religious modes of thinking. Throughout the book, Stirner applies this dialectical structure to human history. The final stage, "egoism", is the second self-discovery, in which one becomes self-conscious of oneself as more than his mind or body. However, in the idealistic stage, a youth now becomes enslaved by internal forces such as conscience, reason and other "spooks" or "fixed ideas" of the mind (including religion, nationalism and other ideologies).

Upon reaching the stage of youth, they begin to learn how to overcome these restrictions by what Stirner calls the "self-discovery of mind". In the first realistic stage, children are restricted by external material forces. The first part of the text begins by setting out a tripartite dialectical structure based on an individual's stages of life (Childhood, Youth and Adulthood).
