tremendous adventure with the topic of this paper‚ which continues to unfold and expand. I do believe that it will continue to unfold as I write it.

“Freud is entirely negative on religion” To what extent do you agree? (15 marks) Freud argues that religion is a symptom of collective neurosis‚ which is a mental imbalance of the Id‚ ego and superego. This is definitely a negative view as Freud is suggesting that all religious people are suffering from a mental imbalance and that is the only reason they believe in religion.
