 According to Trejo, Bauer's book "Christianity Exposed" (1843) was very mild by setting only one sect of Christian against another.Trejo thought Bauer's "Trumpet of the Last Judgment against Hegel the Atheist and Antichrist" to have been a comedy, actually a prank, in which Bauer pretended to be a right-wing cleric who was attacking Hegel.When many right-wing readers publicly praised the book, Bauer revealed himself as the actual author and had a good laugh.
