Abstract

The article discusses the views of S. Freud on the connection of religion with primitive forms of power. The essence of his concept is revealed, according to which totemism, Judaism and Christianity symbolically reflect the act of parricide committed in the primitive horde. The concept of the neurotic origin of religion proposed by Freud is shown and analyzed. Freud’s ideas about the religious causes of anti-Semitism are given.
