An article I came across had a few things about organized religion (especially related to many feelings I have about the right-wing Christian zealots today) that are interesting.

http://epages.wordpress.com/2009/04/...nswer-to-evil/


Couple of quotes from it-

Jungians tend to say that sanctimonious individuals and related organizations project their own dark impulses onto others instead of facing the evil within themselves.

Jungians also tend to imply that the spirituality of organized religion only goes as deep as the persona,³ where individuals play a superficial role of holiness for the sake of appearances and to feel good about themselves.


The article is among some relating to culture and Jung's use of universal symbology/ethnological concepts. LOL, I always get a Jung rush when I read Dan Brown!
