==Sigmund Freud==
[[Freud]] renounced the [[Jewish]] [[religion]] of his [[parents (]] -- though not his [[Jewish]] [[identity]]) -- and considered himself an [[atheist]]. [[Freud]] regarded [[monotheistic]] forms of [[religion]] as the [[sign ]] of a highly developed [[state ]] of [[civilization]]. [[Freud]] [[thought ]] that all [[religions]] were barriers to [[cultural]] [[progress]], and thus argued that they should be abandoned iin in favor of [[science]].
==Reality and Delusion==
[[Freud]] argued that [[religion]]s were an attempt to protect oneself against [[suffering]] by "a delusional remoulding of [[reality]]," and thus concluded that they "must be classed among the mass-[[delusions]]" of humankind.<ref>Freud{{F}} ''[[Civilization and Its Discontents]]''. 1903s1930. [[SE ]] XXI. p.81</ref> [[Freud]] saw the [[idea ]] of [[God]] as an expression of an [[infantile]] longing for a protective [[father]].<ref>{{F}} ''[[Works of Sigmund Freud 1927b|The Future of an Illusion]]''. 1927. [[SE]] XXI, 3.</ref> [[FruedFreud]] described [[religion]] as a "[[universal ]] [[obsessional ]] [[neurosis]]."<ref>{{F}} "[[Works of Sigmund Freud|Obsessiove Actions and Religious Practices]]. " 1907. b[[SE]] IX, 116.</ref>
==Jacques Lacan==
[[Jacques Lacan]] also considers himself an [[atheist]], having renounced the [[Catholic]] [[religion]] of his parents. Like [[Freud]] he opposes [[religion]] to [[science]], and aligns [[psychoanalysis]] with the latter.<ref>{{S11}} p. 265</ref> [[Lacan]] states that the [[true]] [[formula]] of [[atheism]] is not ''God is [[dead]]'' but ''God is [[unconscious]]''.<ref>{{S11}} p. 59</ref>
