Abstract
The contribution that the classic authors Augusto Comte, Max Weber and Carlos Marx have made to the Social Sciences from different areas has been very significant, these materialize in the foundation of currents such as positivism, sociology and Marxism. The present article not only tries to analyze how these authors through Christianity have maintained their thought but to understand the validity of the classic thought by means of appreciations to this religion.With some intellectual productions, these classics of the social sciences have established contrasts and similarities with respect to the usefulness of Christianity in history, from the positivist philosophy of Comte, he visualized it with the so-called law of the intellectual evolution of humanity or the law of the three stadiums. Weber, makes an interpretation of Christianity through his masterpiece the Protestant Ethic and the Spirit of capitalism; and Marx, makes some considerations starting from the origin of Christianity and then analyzes the relationship with Marxism, at this point it was possible to show that in Latin America there are points of convergence.Regarding the conclusions, the most evident one emphasizes the relationship between Christianity and Marxism, which is more of ideological and political convenience than of philosophical essence.
