It’s a team to bat for and even comes with its own dogma for you to blindly believe in.
Usually lead by charismatic leaders providing/promising simple and easy to understand explanations/solutions to complex problems.
To quote H L Mencken,
“Explanations exist; they have existed for all time; there is always a well-known solution to every human problem — neat, plausible, and wrong.”
