Were you an advocate of science, you would compare the results of religious belief to so-called therapies of all stripes on health and well-being, and become a minister in a religion of your choice.

The existence of various religions with origins dating from three hundred years ago to today seem to contradict the notion that it is constrained to ancient times when beliefs were regarded as truth.

As to “beliefs .... regarded as truth”, Sigmund Freud was mindboggingly catastrophically wrong. In 1996, Psychological Science reached the conclusion that “[T]here is literally nothing to be said, scientifically or therapeutically, to the advantage of the entire Freudian system or any of its component dogmas."

There’s no scientific evidence in support of the idea that boys lust after their mothers and hate their fathers. He was totally, utterly wrong about gender. And his notion of “penis envy” is both laughable and tragic.
