Order Description
Using EITHER one of Karl Marx or Sigmund Freud, please analyze a contemporary news story that addresses the concerns of the course with regard to public discourse about religion. Produce an essay that makes a clear argument concerning this, and addresses how the perspective of the theorist that you have chosen can help to articulate a position in this regard. I will provide an article, or the news story can be yours to choose. Please make sure that if you do choose, you choose something recent (from 2015) and substantial enough to grapple with in a meaningful fashion.

If you choose Karl Marx, the source should be his book “Marx on Religion”
If you choose Sigmund Freud, the source should be his book “The Future of an Illusion”
