13.11.1999 - Interpretation of dali48
Religion has a threefold function:
For the great masses of suggestive influence in the sense of their psychic condition with their class situation, - and for the ruling class that of relieving guilt against the distress of the oppressed by it. - Authoritarian religion calls for the recognition of a higher power - which exists beyond man and exercises authority over him (see "God", Church, etc. - d.48). That is why it is entitled to devotion, obedience, and worship. - This demand for recognition does not therefore legitimize itself in the moral qualities of the "deity" (see idols, etc. - d.48), not in their love and justice - but the fact that it has dominion over man. - Furthermore, this means that the higher power has a right to force people to worship it, - and that the lack of worship and obedience is sin. - The essential element of authoritarian religion (see idolatry etc. - d.48) and authoritarian religious experience is the subjugation to a power beyond the human being. - Western society is currently experiencing the worship of power, success and authority of the market, as a modern form of idolatry ...
Examples of humanist religions:
Early Buddhism, Taoism, Isaiah, Jesus, Socrates, Spinoza, mystical currents (Jewish and Christian), reason ... (E. Fromm)
