In Weber's view, how individuals perceive religion, is reflected upon how social classes evolve. The evolvement of social classes would be dependent upon its social and economic life at that time, in which Weber distinguished the "non-privileged" and the "privileged".
By making this distinction a creation of societies has been classified; therefore religions have also been classified. From the religions that have been classified, new and different ones start to span throughout the world. These new religions are also reflective upon a particular culture at that time. As the new religions grew around the world, the need for more interpretations became eminent.
The Psychological Theory.
Back at the turn of the century, Freud and Jung were committed to explaining human behavior in the realm of a conscious ego and the unconscious itself.
Following 1912 Jung and Freud separated. In Jung's view, Freud had viewed the unconscious as a place that the ego put all its repressed personal issues to rest until they are brought out through psychoanalysis. Jung, on the other hand, viewed the unconscious as a multi-level world in itself, and needed to be explored. .
Jung stated that the psyche (the conscious and the unconscious) is not a structure within a person; it is a structure that individuals are participants in. "If we want to understand the psyche, we have to include the world"(Jung, p.50).
In this perspective, all people have a particular position on different views that are generated from certain psychological orientation.
According to Jung, religious thought does not tell us what people see; instead we observe what is seen thru the way people symbolize things.
Jung further discusses the process in which he believes the ego develops. During this development the ego encounters stages, similar to that of a child. At times throughout these stages the ego creates images in the unconscious. These images give value to what the ego is feeling at that time.
