Abstract
Symington, an Australian psychoanalyst, believes that traditional religion is not relevant to modern man: human sciences repudiated core values of religion. With Freud as its founder, psychoanalysis has explicitly and vehemently abjured religion. Symington claims that the core values of religion are locked away within a primitive religious framework making them unavailable for us in our world (p. 27). He believes that Socrates is a better model than Buddha or Jesus (p. 42). Thus Reason becomes God.
