One of the most intricate topics that are still open in connection to a Swiss psychologist Carl Gustav Jung is religion and related issues: What is the relation between religion and psychology? What is Jung's personal stance? Did Jung reject religion as a relict of primitive way of thinking or did he try to replace religion with psychology? Some speculations drawing primarily from Jung's imagery and symbolism revealed in Liber Novus put forward the claim that he even aspired to found a new religion. This paper attempts to square Jung's attitude to religion, mainly Christianity.

Author points out the main ideas of his psychology of religion and follows the evolution of particular ideas related to religion starting with his early works right through to his last.
