Three things we consider fundamental to the sections are the role of religion proving comfort and protection, the idea that our natural urges push against the rules and restrictions we have in civilization and the role of order in civilization.

Three we found interesting:

About he understand why people follow religion because of fear. They fear if they don’t follow a religion it could lead to death.

Three we don’t understand:

how does someone out grow a religion? It seems people follow religions and grow with it.

Freud fails to ever bring up how people feel about religion( the emotion side). He only ever explains the morals. (The logical side)

Why does Freud think that religious beliefs are illusions? Is he struggling to understand the importance of belief or is he just not wanting to believe in religion?

Interesting: No factual basis of religious ideas, can be triumphed by science, Religion has clearly contributed toward asocial instincts, his beliefs on the matter of thou shall not kill and then the idea of when people realize that “there is no God” so you will immediately kill your neighbor

Don’t Understand: Comparison of God to a father figure, discussion of infantile and obsessional neuroses, role of psychoanalysis

Fundamental: Religion and religious doctrines help maintain order in society, religion is an illusion that functions to comfort society, educated people help progress society versus religious individuals

Freud argues that if we recognize religion as an illusion, we should also be willing to question other deeply held beliefs—like political systems, social values, or even science itself. He challenges the idea that religion should be protected just because it brings people comfort or keeps society in order, suggesting that clinging to comforting illusions might actually do more harm in the long run. While he knows his views might upset people and even risk damaging the reputation of psychoanalysis, he believes it's more important to pursue truth than to preserve beliefs just because they feel good or seem useful.
