Psycology of Religion
Freud
Religion is a neurosis which stems from deep psychological trauma
Stems from trauma's thats are from a sexual root
religion is therefore an illusionresulting from sexual difficulties
Religion is a collective Neurosis which stemsfrom the unconcious mind
The minds sollution is to lock trauma's away in the unconcious
Later emerges as religion
Religion creates compulsive behaviour
Animinism
When suffering from extreme gulit the mind creaes idols (totems)
Mind redirects guilt through sacrifice and compulsive behaviour
Through sacrifces and prayer
The mind can now control these feelings of gulit
creation of these idols then results into a religion
The mind can now control these feelings of guilt as it comes to terms of trauma druing sexual development
Jung
Rejects that religion is caused by inner sexual trauma
Also rejects that religion is a a dangerous entity to be exposed and overthrown
Religion is an expression of the collective unconcious
A natural process
Stems from archetypes within the unconcious mind
perfroms its function of harmonising the psyche
God is an archetype
Each born with tendencies create religious imagery
i.e. God's angels and other religious phenomena
No physical proof of if God does/doesn't exist
