The Problem With Ideological Religions
A lot of ideologies rely upon everyone in society having faith in the same thing. Bad ideologies such as racism or sexism persist due to ignorance far more than malice, and people hold on to those bad ideologies because sadly, they offer their adherents some degree of hope. Interpersonal religions give us hope that another human being will bring us salvation and happiness. Like the lines on a football field, political systems are entirely made up,. The positions of power exist due only to the faith of the population, and whether it's a democracy or a dictatorship, the result is the same. A charismatic president or celebrity who seems to understand everything we go through can approach our level of god-like worship. Fandom
