Politics has just become the new religious practice. All the interest groups believe in a god, whether they know its name or not, and promote mass organization to enfoce their will upon those of other belief systems/philisophic mindsets.

"Towards the throne they all strive: it is their madness--as if happiness sat on the throne! Ofttimes sitteth filth on the throne.--and ofttimes also the throne on filth.

Madmen they all seem to me, and clambering apes, and too eager. Badly smelleth their idol to me, the cold monster: badly they all smell to me, these idolaters." -Nietzsche
