What is Freud's interpretation of religion?
To say that Sigmund Freud was highly disdainful of religion in general would really be an understatement. From the perspective of his work in psychology, he generally treated religion as a farce, something made-up in the mind to provide the believer with comfort, or as a natural kind of "defense" in the brain to protect against doubts, worries, fears, or to use as a crutch. Freud sought often to debunk and explain all the "specialness" of God or the supernatural as either delusional products of the mind, or as a series of very un-special events that people foolishly misinterpreted. It should be noted that some of the greatest criticisms of Freud's work stems from the fact that in multiple areas, his own personal vendettas and faults were projected onto his "scientific" views. It is arguable, though if one reads many of Freud's thoughts on religion it becomes rather apparent, that he tends to cross the line from purely non-passionate observation of religion and mixes in his own personal hang-ups with it. It's kind of like reading a paper that a doctor writes to declare why a certain kind of treatment is invalid, and then realizing that he is not just explaining facts for why it's a bad treatment, but also describing how much he dislikes it personally.
What were the political views of Sigmund Freud?
I think he wasn't Left-wing progressivist in that sense he had no mercy for utopian Left ideologies (eg. Marxism) that distort human nature (read - "Civilization and Its discontents"). On the other hand it will be probably a mistake to called Freud "conservatist" in strict political and social terms. His ideas were shocking in his times (eg. child's sexuality, "Oedipus Complex"). He was of course staunch atheist too, which is not welcome in conservative circles. Maybe he was some kind of "realist-progressivist" in that he belived we will modificate our nature by scientific forces, but taking into account our inborn aggression ("death drive"), NOT only our economic issues (as socialists believe). Freud was in the middle between conservative restrictions of the civilization and utopian ideologists which postulate complete liberation of these restrictions (eg. "sexual freedom").

What is sigmund freuds theory on schizophrenia?
For many years now there has been a continuing and sustained criticism of Freud's (1911) hypothesis that the basic disorder in schizophrenia consists in the patient's inability to maintain the libidinal cathexis of objects. The fact that patients suffering from the two principal types of schizophrenia present signs of real and fantasy object relationships has been taken as evidence that the illness cannot be based on a decathexis of object representations. This contradiction is easily dispelled if account is taken of the real likelihood that these object relationships, which are mostly of a pathological kind, represent a spontaneous tendency towards recovery. They are therefore secondary to the primary disorder and a reaction to it. In the original theory Freud (1911) described the flight of the libidinal cathexis from the love object in schizophrenia as a form of repression. After the introduction of the structural theory (Freud, 1923) he dropped the term 'repression'
Why do people like only certain types of music?
i am open to all kinds of music and like at least one song in each catagory, but i really like alternative rock and punk rock the best because i think, generally speaking, that that kind of music has better lyrics and it takes more talent to play a guitar, bass, or drum set, then it does to rap, or sing with a synthesizer
