birth. If the vantage point is faith it could be religious in nature‚ but if the vantage point is rationality and philosophically then religion is just a psychological projection. Psychological projection is not a religious mindset at all. Unlike fundamentalism‚ mysticism and apologetics‚ psychological projection denies the existence of God as an objective‚ rational and existing being. God‚ according to this view‚ is just a human construct. This argument was supported by great thinkers like Karl Marx
