Religion is just ideology.
The only difference is that its packaged itself with "tradition" and sold to everyone as religion.
And it is impossible to live in a world without ideology.
The problem in the west is that it is not treated the same as ideology. We are allowed to hate socialism and even demonizing socialists is OK (sometimes, even when they arent socialists)... if someone said that they hate Islam or Christianity however and all of a sudden you come off as a bigot. (Which is wrong.. you are only a bigot if you hate Musl
ims and Christ
ians)
