This Element consists of three interrelated parts. 'What Freud
Said' summarizes the salient details of Freud's psychology of
religion: his views on the origins and development of western
religions; on contemporary western monotheisms; on the
'unpsychological' proceedings of the religio-cultural super-ego;
his qualified endorsement of religious forms of psychotherapy; and
his cursory analysis of eastern religions.'What Freud got Wrong'
surveys the history of the multidisciplinary critiques
(anthropological, sociological, later psychoanalytic,
theological/philosophical) that have been levelled at his
interpretative strategies. 'Towards a Revised Psychoanalytic Theory
of Religion' suggests that the best way forward is to employ a
psychoanalytic theory of religion which, taking its cue from the
history of its critique, houses reflective, inclusive and
dialogical elements. It presents illustrations taken from a variety
of contemporary religio-cultural phenomena (marvel movies; issues
concerning religion, sexuality and gender; the Megachurch; QAnon)
as portable lessons for such applications.
