aren't these all, at their root, postmodern re-implementations of religion? with all the related problems & benefits.

  Yes, this is perspicacious. If you reject the premises and practices of religion, you will eventually re-invent them all. Disestablishmentarianism by modern democracies means that without a centralized religion to arbitrate Truth, pseudo-religions will expand their power bases to fill in the blanks. Psychiatry, Social Security, shelters, soup kitchens, hospital and university systems. All were adequately handled by Christendom, until society decided that Christendom was superfluous and hindering their goals.

    I make this comment as I observe many of my friends attach meaning to politics that people use to attach to religion, and I find it both ironic & troubling as it comes with all the problems of intolerance & lack of compromise, us vs them, etc.
