To relate psychology, psychoanalysis and religious faith is to observe and try to understand by means of relative parameters.

Religious faith is a state that contains the feeling of something true, total and absolute, like a dogma.

Psychoanalysis is an investigative method that in itself it does not contain knowledge.

Religious faith and religion offer the idea of absolute, of a total and finished truth that has not been achieved by science since ancient times. We know that even in physics the theories are relative and questionable as to their universal reach, such as the laws of gravitation and the quanta, which have not been integrated in a single theory for macro and microcosm.
