Political ideas can be as dangerous if not more than religious ones, and they can cause a lot of hatred and intolerance
And religious indoctrination doesn't involve hatred and intolerance? I'm not saying political indoctrination isn't harmful -- it certainly is -- but I have doubts it can cause as much damage as religious indoctrination.
I agree, it doesn't necessarily mean condemning to hell, but in too many cases, it does.
Pardon me if I get worked up. It's a touchy subject to me, because of personal experiences.
