You know, the one before monotheism, that old one with human sacrifice and all…..paganism.
Google: a religion other than one of the main world religions, specifically a non-Christian or pre-Christian religion.
1.It takes a certain degree of wisdom, which is not a function of government schooling, to recognize the pagan aspect of the political religions such as the Marxists, Nazis and Fascists. And the one currently practiced by the Democrats.
"There is a certain irony in that the mythology of the totalitarian ideologies, curiously enough, was based on the New Testament, specifically the Book of Revelation of St. John the Devine.
There is a people of God, and these are under attack, both from within (the city dwellers of Babylon, who have sunk into abominations) and from without (by the forces of Satan). Resistance will result in the war of Armageddon…with the extermination of the evil ones. But not without horrifying destruction. Then there will be the reign of Christ for a thousand years.
Sometime after the First World War, the Babylon-Armageddon made its way into political theory. Each version had a people of God, under attack. There was the proletariat for the Bolsheviks and Stalinists; the children of the Roman wolf for Mussolini’s Fascists; the Warriors of Christ the King for Franco’s Phalange, and the Aryan race for the Nazis."

2. “The key clues to a real understanding of our current situation lie, in large part, in the history of relations between church and state. Unlike liberalism, Christianity does not aim at the fusion of church and political power. Though it may come as a surprise to readers, the church actually invented the distinction between church and state in the Christian Middle Ages.
Outside Christendom (and even in the West before the church hammered out the distinction), political and religious power were fused, as for example in pagan Rome, where the emperor was considered divine. The church rejected this fusion, pulled religion and government apart, and made them distinct in both form and function, thereby giving to the world a great gift.
But modern politics is characterized by nation-states attempting to absorb the powers of the church again, so that they can use religion as an instrument of their political ends. Hence such horrific “political religions” as Nazism and Fascism.”
Wiker, “Worshipping The State”
3. Liberalism/Progressivism involves “return to the status quo in pagan societies, where religion was entirely subordinate to the state. In arguing that we need to disestablish liberalism as our state religion, I am not asserting that we need to have a fusion of Christianity and the state, but in fact quite the opposite—for the good of both the state and the church. We need to turn away from the pagan fusion of political and religious power and return to the original Christian arrangement, where there is a real distinction between religious and political power and each has its own defined role.”

You must have noticed that one party, the pagan party, called it’s candidate god, Jesus, the messiah.
And that party, the Democrats, demand the bending of neck and knee to its divinity.
