The Denial of Death by Ernest Becker

Freud thought that the judea christian was predicated on the idea that the figure of the father, the familial father, was expanded up into cosmic dimensions. But becker took the argument that the hypothesis of god is nothing but an attempt by human beings to recreate a quasi infantile state of dependency. I think becker missed the point, and he missed it in the same way that freud missed young's point. Like i think, the book is seriously flawed and wrong, but it's really a great book.
