Patriarchal religion and social disintegration

 
Victor White: "Where the god is male and father only, and [...] is associated with law, order, civilization, logos, and super-ego, religion--and the pattern of life which it encourages--tends to become a matter of these only, to the neglect of nature, instinct, [...] feeling, eros, and what Freud called the 'id.' Such a religion, so far from 'binding together' and integrating, may all too easily become an instrument of repression, and so of individual and social disintegration."
