Articles-Jung at Heart by Jan Jarboe Russell and Freud, Religion, and the Presence of Projective Identification by Ryan LaMothe

Though both Freud and Jung started the field of Psychoanalysis together just like the branches of a tree they grew in opposite directions. Freud primarily focusing on the negativity of belief in God, and Jung focusing on belief in God as being a mirror of ones own inner self. Though Jung believed in God he also focused on the concept that God was a positive image of the inner self. Freud believed that one uses God in the Guise of a neurosis. Freud also claimed that God is a defense mechanism. As I stated before Sigmund Freud dwells upon the negativity of faith and that the only redeeming dogma of religion in general is the identity a person receives through the belonging of a specific religion. Carl Jung believes that religion in general helps a person look into their inner self and form a relationship between themselves and God. Faith can be measured by the amount of trust a person puts into their personal experience with God.
