Dugan's View on Religion and Philosophy

For Alexander Dugan, religion serves as a practical tool rather than a true belief system. He uses religion as a unifying force to mobilize the masses, particularly valuing the aesthetic and dramatic aspects of religious ideologies. Dugan's philosophical perspective aligns with the idea that religion can be a pragmatic and useful tool for social and political movements, rather than focusing on the truth of religious doctrines.
