Abstract
"Este artículo tiene como objetivo principal analizar el papel que cumple la religión en las sociedades occidentales contemporáneas. El punto de partida es la concepción freudiana de la religión, que considera a ésta como una ilusión, una neurosis colectiva que tiene su origen en las dificultades psíquicas del ser humano para enfrentar el sufrimiento y la infelicidad, y que coloca al individuo en un actitud infantil. Las grandes transformaciones que se han vivido desde tiempos de Freud han otorgado un papel preponderante a la tecnología, que ha impuesto su racionalidad. El régimen capitalista neoliberal tecnologizado que hoy impera, impone como fines la ganancia, la expansión ilimitada de los mercados, el consumo y el trabajo. Ello convierte al hombre en objeto y no sujeto de su historia. En estas condiciones el vacío y la insatisfacción tienden a generalizarse. Es a partir de ahí que encuentran sustento en las sociedades actuales los impulsos a recrear las ilusiones religiosas. En lugar de aceptar la realidad y asumir una actitud adulta y madura se busca un padre, un amo, un Dios. La diferencia es que ahora se viven las religiones de manera más “light” y el compromiso con las creencias y vivencias se ha hecho menos intenso. Tal separación respecto de las formas de vida ha facilitado la globalización de las religiones." ["The main objective of this article is to analyze the paper that fulfills the religion in the contemporary western societies. The departure point is the freudian conception of the religion, which is considered an illusion, a collective neurosis that has its origin in the psychic difficulties of the human being to face suffering and unhappiness, and that places the individual in an infantile attitude. The great transformations that have occured since Freud have granted a preponderant paper to the technology, that has imposed its rationality. The technological neoliberal and capitalist regime that reigns today imposes economic profits, ilimited market expansion, consumption and work as the main aims, turning man from one subject in history into an objet. In these conditions emptiness and dissatisfaction tend to become general. It is from there that finds sustenance in the present societies the impulses to recreate the religious illusions. Instead of accepting the reality and assuming an adult and mature attitude, the religious person is looking for a father, a master, or a God. The difference is that religions are lived now in a more “light” way, and the commitment with the beliefs and experiences has become less intense. Such separation respect the different ways of living has facilitated the globalization of religions".]
