How Successful Are The Modern Attacks on Religion Presented by Marx, Nietzsche and Freud?

Abstract: Modern attacks on religion, as presented by Karl Marx, Friedrich Nietzsche and Sigmund Freud, are grounded in the belief that the rational, or scientific, method of explanation is superior to, and may totally negate, the irrational, or a priori foundation of religious beliefs. The use of language and the manipulation of the concepts by which scientific proof is accorded negates the argument of that religion is of little or no value because it does not satisfy scientific inquiry. This 10 page paper examines the views of these three men and presents the argument that the views they held on religion are not applicable or pertinent in Today's society. Bibliography lists 10 sources.
