Greenism, Marxism, COVIDism, Critical Race Theory, Transgenderism, Veganism, Human Extinctionism, Transhumanism, and additional ideologies all function as religions in the same way. There is a priesthood, there is dogma which you may not question, there are enemies despoiling the Garden of Eden, there is sin, there is sacrifice / atonement, there is approved “art”, and there is even a path of salvation to gain their versions of the Kingdom of Heaven. Powerful elites support these religions as their anti-human dogmas always require force to enact them. More force equals more power which equals more wealth and control for those in charge. https://orthodoxreflections.com/all-political-ideologies-are-incompatible-with-orthodox-christianity/
