Freud characterizes religion as the “universal obsessional neurosis of humanity” (Pals, p. 66; Freud, pp. 204-205). What does he mean? Do you agree? In your response, make sure to discuss relevant features of Freud’s thinking as discussed by Pals, including his accounts of the conscious, pre-conscious, and unconscious mind; repression; neurosis; etc. Also be sure to engage in detail with relevant portions of our selection from Freud’s book The Future of an Illusion (e.g., pp. 204-205).
