S. Freud’s The Future Illusion and P. Tillich’s Religion as a Dimension in Man’s Spiritual Life carry on about an important question of what religion really is‚ what is its meaning in a cultural‚ psychological and scientific aspect and how it relates to a society and an individual.

His ideas and his theories about human behavior and psychology have left a footprint on our world similar to that of the Tyrannosaurus Rex.
