20. Gay, Freud, 525. Rieff comments, “Against no other strongpoint of repressive culture are the reductive weapons of psychoanalysis deployed in such open hostility. Freud’s customary detachment fails him here. Confronting religion, psychoanalysis shows itself for what it is: the last great formulation of nineteenth-century secularism. . . . What first impresses the student of Freud’s psychology of religion is its polemical edge. Here, and here alone, the grand Freudian animus, otherwise concealed behind the immediacies of case histories and the emergencies of practical therapeutics, breaks out.” Mind of the Moralist, 257. It is worth remembering in this context that Freud’s early and primary exposure to religion would have been that of the Viennese Catholic Church with its overt anti-Semitism. Rieff, Mind of the Moralist, 257.
