Actually the support structure for those things does invoke and leverage the very same behaviors used to perpetuate religion and religious thinking, and that sort of thinking has a long history of persecuting like minded individuals who differ on only a few "minor details"..... To elaborate, individuals sent to gulags were not persecuted because they believed, but for what they believed. Despotic authority, it seems, can tolerate no interceders, intermediaries, or overseers. In this way any despot you're likely to reference is precisely identical to your concept of a god. They took their cues from the best, you see?
