The “Doomsday/Bad Shit is about to happen” Archetype shows up yet…

The “Doomsday/Bad Shit is about to happen” Archetype shows up yet again, except this time instead of the Vengeful God, we have A Shadowy, Evil, Dictator type Politician and or political faction or party. It’s kind of a rational modernization of a universal religious archetype…in a way it’s kind of the prophesied Anti-Christ.
ha ha…but seriously, hear me out:
What is a religion other than a set of principles and worldview that basically form a kind of collective culture and lifestyle?

What is a given Political Ideology other than a set of principles and worldview that basically form a kind of collective culture and lifestyle?
Crazy Stuff, I know…
Past Spread of Christianity+Forced Conversions to the Christian lifestyle = Recent Past/ Current Spread of Democracy/Capitalism+Forced Conversion to THAT lifestyle.

Basically what I’m saying is that I hope Dick Dawkins didn’t spend all the money that insecure Atheists threw at him because the age of TRADITIONAL “religious” crusading and warfare in the West is over. The “West,” which initially kicked off the bloody conversion madness of Christianity has now made it’s way full circle back to the Middle East with a Modern Atheistic Worldview to impose on them this time.
So, it seems, Political Ideology has assumed Top Dog status in terms of defining the culture of Most of the “developed” world. Religion is for the most part, in the backseat, regardless of how loud it may yell from there. Essentially, Rational Man has usurped God and you know what?….nothing’s changed. There are still forced conversions, still bloody wars…now in the name of Godless(atheistic) political ideologies. (that is of course unless you want to consider the almighty dollar the God of capitalism…but i wont).
So what does the future hold?…more of the same and Dick Dawkins pulling his foot out of his mouth.
