A crítica da religião: uma análise transdisciplinar do fenômeno religioso desde as primeiras civilizações ao século XXI.

Abstract

This work is based on a transdisciplinary approach with the aim of investigating the religious phenomenon from as many perspectives as possible. The methodology used is that of a bibliographic review. Through works by specialists in different areas of knowledge, starting primarily from a biological perspective from the Darwinist perspective developed by Richard Dawkins in his work God Delusion (2006). Secondly, the investigation is developed from a historical and anthropological perspective, focusing on the work Sapiens - A brief history of humanity (2015) by Yuval Harari. Thirdly, the research is guided through Sigmund Freud's psychoanalytic approach, focusing on his work The Future of an Illusion (1927). Through Feuerbachian criticism, focusing on the works The Essence of Christianity (1841) and Lectures on the Essence of Religions (1851), the theoretical foundation of this work was developed. In addition to a presentation of Feuerbach's philosophy and how his works influenced other contemporary philosophers. The result achieved is a criticism directed at the modus operandi of religions and the danger of the influence exerted by religious fundamentalism on political representatives around the world, in addition to a criticism of the role of philosophy and science in this debate.
