Statists' religion is secular humanism. Even secular humanists initially called their belief system a religion, but then denied it so that they could have it exclusively promoted throughout the public school system. Leftism really is a religion. We have known that for a long time. Rodney Stark simply adds more insight into why this is true. Statism/Leftism promises a utopian "heaven on earth" and that is the bigger cause that gives Leftists meaning in life.

A secular religion is a nontheistic communal belief system. It includes political religions. Among systems that have been characterized as secular religions are capitalism, communism, fascism, nationalism, Auguste Comte's Religion of Humanity, and the Cult of Reason that developed after the French Revolution. -- Wikipedia

It is a religion. It’s laws they want to implement are its doctrines and the taxes they want to take are the offerings from the people to support the priesthood, the bureaucrats.

SJW = Marxism Lite

The SJWs are too dense to really learn the bogus ideology of Marxism (dialectical materialism), so it’s been stripped down to pure emotional tantrums. (Racist! Fascist! White Privilege!)

I like to call Marxism and its social justice twin the “Control Left”. Ctrl-Left seems like a nice pairing with the “Alt-Right” that the media likes to pretend is a political force.

Sorry, but “capitalism” doesn’t fit the criteria. It is a result of freedom, not an organized philosophy.
