Do you regard communism and fascism as state religions?

Asked by NerdyKeith (5489points) March 7th, 2016

Don’t they follow the same basic principal as spiritual religions? Organised religion has a strong focus on believing in a higher power and accepting a specific philosophy of morality.

Communism and fascism are generally governed by a political leader or party. Communism and fascism have their own flavour of morality and philosophy. Citizens who live in nations where these state religions are in power follow their leaders that enforce these political ideologies. Sometimes they follow out of a sense of loyalty and sometimes fear.
