Who the hell reads Kierkegaard LMAO? He doesn't make much sense, he's more of a psychologist than an actual philosopher lol

I've become intensely invested in Kierkegaard these past few months, sucks to see him being memed to death here but I suppose that's just how it goes on this rotting board. Hoping to have some real discussion.
Something I've been interested in is what it is about Christianity that he thought the religions discovered. What makes it perfect for the individual that other religions hitherto lacked?

“The subjective thinker is not a man of science, but an artist. Existing is an art. The subjective thinker is aesthetic enough to give his life aesthetic content, ethical enough to regulate it, and dialectical enough to penetrate it with thought.”

Just read the concluding unscientific postscript.
It's K at his least pseudonymous and indirect. Here he pretty blatantly puts forth his version of Christianity and how to become a Christian.
Which unsurprisingly contains most of his entire philosophical project.

“Christianity is spirit, spirit is inwardness, inwardness is subjectivity, subjectivity is essentially passion, and in its maximum an infinite personal, passionate interest in one’s eternal happiness.”
