Politics usually has an actual physical being as it's focus.

Religion, at least the main stream ones, have to use their imaginations.

Religion is about a fake god/etc
Politics is for the community organization/etc

"Government" isn't an actual being.....But it is the God of the left, so the OP's point stands.

In the meantime, familiarize yourself with what a "nominalization" is....

Politicians and religious leaders both want my mind and my money. I see no differences.

They can both go to hell.

That's not entirely true- what they're for and what they do are the same- they both group people into different classes for a purpose- the lip service they use is slightly different in the rhetoric, but, not a lot.

Both lay claim to something they rely on others to provide- *a* difference is the tithing. Religions tithing is voluntary, political tithing is forced- both ignore the sovereignty of the Individual and demand compliance to the dogma of the group- both have ceremonies to prove allegiance- both offer a reward for compliance- neither can prove the rewards exists- both claim its way is the only way to salvation when, in fact, their way has been failing for centuries- *a* difference is the definition of salvation- one claims immediate one claims future- both are "claims" paid lip service to to encourage faith- faith in another never leads to the expected reward.

Yet it is in your head where he resides 24/7. Something a god would do.

Normal people can make it a whole day without even thinking about him at all.
