Freud accounts the origin and the persistence among human beings, of religious belief on the account of human beings paranoia. He questions the religious doctrine by claiming these beliefs to be illusions. ... He claims to believe that religious doctrines make the questions in existence all to easy to answer. Yet logic or reason cannot refute these premises of religious doctrine. ... It seems Freud believes that the embracement of religion is on the decline. Religion is wish-full thinking and by this Freud feels that religion has had its time to convey to the world what it can do for the human existence. ... It is unfortunate to think he does not support the following of religious belief yet I ask doesn’t religion account for the basis of societies moral stature? To answer this I feel Freud believes that morality comes with the growth of a human in their surroundings. ...
These things conveyed through William James about mysticism contradict Freud’s beliefs. ... Freud asks if there is any reality at all behind religion because religion is derived from human society and those who created these doctrines. These mystical experiences claim to have truth and deception from James, yet Freud feels that the truth-values of these claims have no truth to these mystical experience what so ever. I feel he would say this because Freud is a man of logic and reason. ... Freud’s belief for faith in science and the acquisition of knowledge through verifiable experience reinforces his doubt of these mystical experiences as basis for religious belief.
