Religious doctrines … are all illusions, they do not admit of proof, and no one can be compelled to consider… — Sigmund Freud

Immorality, no less than morality, has at all times found support in religion.

"In so doing, the idea forces itself upon him that religion is comparable to a childhood neurosis, and he is optimistic enough to suppose that mankind will surmount this neurotic phase, just as so many children grow out of their similar neurosis."

Religion is a system of wishful illusions together with a disavowal of reality, such as we find nowhere else but in a state of blissful hallucinatory confusion. Religion's eleventh commandment is "Thou shalt not question."
