I think it's very easy to understand Freud's work if his concept of physical desire is interpreted as material desire. People are outraged to hear and read him talk about his ideas about human life, because what he says is the "primary motivational energy of human life", is commonly treated as a silent taboo in many cultures around the world.
Since this social rejection of his theory is based on social rejection of his most important idea, people find it hard to discuss or understand his work. Critics of his work, like Carl Jung, can understand his work more easily by taking into consideration Freud's atheism, and the fact that the falsifiability of a theory does not disprove it, as Karl Popper argued against.
