Psychoanalysis and Religion

Often authoritarian religion regards as real a very abstract and very distant ideal that has little to do with the real lives of real people. The lives and happiness of people living in the present situation and time can be sacrificed for ideals such as "life after death" or "the future of humanity"; The purported ends justify every means, and in the hands of a religious or secular "elite class" they become symbols that will help keep the lives of their fellow citizens under control.

“This is a provocative and appropriate book for our complex world. It points out the issues that religion misses and offers a valuable source of information to both psychology and religion teachers. “This book will help reveal the subconscious conflicts of psychoanalysis.”
