Yes, for Jung religion is indeed about the psychic; but so is everything else. For him even the external world beyond the personal psyche—which we perceive via the five senses—is in itself essentially psychic and organized by archetypes. We are, and are immersed in, the psychic. A physical world outside and independent of the psychic sphere is only a theoretical abstraction, known only conceptually and ultimately unreal.
