    Hi Phyllis,

    Not sure I'd go along with the 'cultured despisers' aka the 'masters of suspicion' where religion is
    concerned (meaning: Marx, Nietzche, Freud). Whether psychological explanations of action are best
    characterised on level 2, 3 or 4 surely depends on your assessment of psychology itself, no?

    : Hi Wim, Sam et al
    :
    : I won't repeat all the previous posts on this one; I would just like to
    : suggest that perhaps a return to some of the "traditional" explanators of
    : religion do offer a clear insight to the attraction of religion (esp. the
    : anthropomorphization of spiritual beings) and yes, I can't remember who said
    : it, but it does seem to reinforce the idea of religion being determined. I
    : am referring to Marx and Freud here.
    : Especially Freud on God as Father.
    :
    : The question that this leads me to ask is that if a person acts according to
    : this psychological need, then, is this a biological static pattern. If they
    : rebel, the social level (at least the social level of a certain time and
    : today of place, still calls them delusional) My question is then, are
    : psychological explanators biological, social or intellectual patterns?
    :
    : Probably best if this gets a new thread, if anyone is interested in
    : following up.
