The Term Ego Has Acculturated Our World, But What About Our Belief Systems?

It is clear that Freud's psychoanalytic theories has become our basis for understanding personalities in our world.  We use the word ego to explain each other hangup's and behaviors. As I was thinking about today's post, I wondered how does this reflect our belief systems? My understanding of belief systems for this post are Judaism, Islam and Christianity in the West and Eastern belief systems. Do ancient teachings found in the Torah, Koran and Bible support psychoanalytic theory? Or do Eastern belief systems have a clearer indication of ego in their teachings?
