Yep.
It seems to be the state which collectivist human nature always gravitates towards.
Precisely the reason our founders tried to protect us from that nature by erecting a wall between religion and state - and giving Individuals the power to criticize the state, all in the same 1st amendment.
Yes, religion and state - think back to Egypt.
The Pharaoh pretended to be god and was the head of the state; and building pyramids was the primary product of the state - and of the state religion.
In the Bible, the worship of Baal is generally synonymous with the worship of the state god, and the god of state.
BAAL
BA'AL (ba'al; Heb. ba`al, "lord, owner, master, possessor").
Through the ages, the same nature has manifested itself in various substantive ways - but the form is always the same. The structure of governance becomes the object of worship and servitude.
Of course, Secular Humanist atheists, who'd have us believe that God is dead, would loath to associate any of their handiwork with something so "primitive" as "worship" - but it is what it is, and they do what they do.
