Has politics become the new religion?
>Adopt an entire pre packaged belief system even if you don't understand the whole thing
>Put it above your own personal hobbies, friendships, family ties ect
>Argue over it constantly and the arguments acomplish nothing but make everyone upset
>Reject any evidence, science or history that disagrees with your ideas
>Assume people with other ideas are under the control of some evil force
The only major difference seems to be the lack of belief in god(s), but even then Religion doesn't always have to be theistic.
