I think this is a very interesting concept!
After reading the subsection about religion in the text, I feel as though Freud would stand by his statement that religion is an illusion, and that it is still a projection of the father image, just made to fit in the other religions.
Here's something to think about, though. Why is it that Freud thought that little children to grow up thinking that only the father is a god-like image? What if a child grows up without a father? What then? Surely, mothers are more admirable in some cases as well.
