I am not an atheist and I embrace evolution.

What is wrong with Sigmund Freud, btw? Never heard him being dis'd like that before. Wasn't he super moralistic with his ego, id, and super-ego (conscience)?

Mysogynistic coke addict. Despite his reputation amongst some as the "father" of modern psychology, his techniques and "theories" don't come close to actual professional research and work.

(One of the people for whom I do tech support is a psychologist who does not care much for Freud).

"What is wrong with Sigmund Freud, btw?"

Actually, Sigmund Freud is in the process of being discredited along with other 20th century liberal heroes. Like Marxism, nobody believes in psychoanalysis anymore except people incarcerated in various university departments.

The problem with Freud's work was his lack of scientific rigor. Throughout his writings, there are no clear, objective standards by which psychoanalytic assertions can be independently tested and evaluated.

Studies have confirmed that psychoanalysis doesn't cure people of psychiatric illnesses any better than leaving them to recover at home alone.

Have you heard of the study where they sent undercover doctors to a mental hospital to pretend they were psychiatric patients? No matter how sane and reasonable they were, the "pretenders" were still evaluated as sick by their attending psychiatrists. Something funny about that.
