About This Quote

Sigmund Freud, the father of psychiatry and an atheist, theorized that one’s attitude toward one’s father largely shaped one’s attitude toward God. He also stated that the conflict between conscious and unconscious thoughts was the basis of neurosis. Freud's notion of mental conflict is similar to the thinking that the Bible states about man's relationship with God.
