I'd hate to have the "over" on the over and under bet for her life expectancy.
Let's keep our heads here.
Psycholigsts don't denounce
just Islam. They blame
all religion for
causing mental illness and
wrecking human life --

...In 1927 came [Freud's] most famous attack on religion - The future of an illusion. The question asked is : can we one day do without the consoling illusions of religious beliefs? Religious beliefs are based on desires that cannot be challenged and they lie in the infantile past of the individual when he sought protection from the mother and the father. Later on, our fear of death will bring back the old anxieties and the longing to be protected by the father. This irrational origin of religion gives it the odour of sanctity but it has proved unhelpful to most people: “The question cannot but arise whether we are not overrating its necessity for mankind.”
Freud thought that if you introduce religion to children before the age of reason, it would lead to a prohibition of thought and neurotic control of impulses through repression: “Religion is patently infantile, so foreign to reality. It is painful to think that the great majority of men will never be able to rise above this view of life.” Religion needs to be replaced by science. ...

I'll second that! She lays it out so bluntly and truthfully, that she'll need all the protection she can get.
Not Christian psychologists.
Freud was spiritually infantile.
Any scientist who pursues their field with a truly open mind can come to only one conclusion...there is a God.
