Social psychologist?Erich Fromm probes deep into the roots of religion to find its humanistic essence In 1950, Erich Fromm attempted to free religion from its social function and to develop a new understanding of religious phenomena. Rather than analyzing what people believe in?whether they?re monotheistic, polytheistic, or atheistic?Fromm presents an idea of what religion means in secular terms. ? In his timeless and straightforward style, Fromm unmasks the alienating effects of any authoritarian religion. He reveals how a humanistic religion is conducive to one?s own humanity, and explains why psychoanalysis does not threaten religion. Whether you?re a believer or a long-time atheist, Fromm?s erudite analysis of religion is sure to reshape your concept of spirituality. ? This ebook features an illustrated biography of Erich Fromm including rare images and never-before-seen documents from the author?s estate. ?
