I’d be curious how they define religion. I consider politics a religion these days.

Read "Sapiens", by Yuval Harari. He extensively discusses that.

In the US, politics (Democracy) seems to be widely considered a "sacred institution", literally. If you observe how people talk about it in forums, this seems very true to me.
