The locus is on the Oedipus complex, the origin of neurosis in Freudian theory; it is argued that Oedipal motivation is a reasonably apt characterization of original sin.

This rationale also provides an explanation of the irrational, unconscious motivation behind atheism, namely that atheism is Oedipal wish fulfillment.
