How did Freud view religion and its role in the human psyche?

Freud viewed religion through a critical lens, often considering it a collective neurosis and an illusion rooted in human psychological needs for security and a sense of authority. In his work "The Future of an Illusion," he argued that religious beliefs originate from the unconscious mind's desires and fears, shaped by childhood experiences and societal influences.
