Ideology may well be defined as religion-substitute.

The core of religious belief is not ideological, whatever may be said of the soft pulp in which it is wrapped up.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6564</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Eros will have naked bodies; Friendship naked personalities. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65184]]></link><description><![CDATA[Eros will have naked bodies; Friendship naked personalities.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65184</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The positive drum beat has caught up with the negative one.
