Translation of a revision of the chapter Gott--eine infantile Illusion? from Existiert Gott? by Sigmund Freud.. Translated by Edward Quinn.
1 The genesis of Freud's atheism. 2 Freud's understanding of the origin and nature of religion. 3 Critique of Freud. 4 Critique of the critique
'...Kung asks what was at the root of Freud's atheism, traces Freud's views of religion and the nature of religious longings, and demonstrates that the arguments that Freud offered against the existence of God are theologically unconvincing. Because Kung understands that religion was an important issue for Freud, his discussion ranges widely over psychoanalytic thought. Kung also presents for comparison the attitudes toward religion of two of Freud's most important contemporaries, Jung and Adler.'
