If you don't believe in capitalism just to follow the trends and you didn't reach the position logically, and perhaps you have faith in communism or actually believe that in communist countries the state will wither away. Does that make communism a religion?As I mentioned in one of my past posts, when someone blindly pursues an interest with devotion, it IS a religion by definition.
There's a difference between a world view or ideology and religion.
