- Overview
- Argued that the idea of a Father- God sustains and creates a patriarchal view of society and of spirituality which results in the oppression of women and violence towards women. ‘If God is male then male is God’
- Suggested that religion has been, and still is, used as a tool to enforce the oppression of women
- She said that the cultural impact of Christianity on society creates an unholy trinity of r*pe, genocide and war
- The patriarchal view of God combines sexism, racism and classism to create a three-headed monster
- Daly criticised the biblical imagery of a male God in heaven who dominates and rewards and punishes. She saw this as an abortion
- She said that Christian idea os the incarnation of God in Jesus Christ were symbolic ways of legitimising ‘r*pe of all women and matter
