I agree with you that being coerced and indoctrinated into absolute submission of an infallible authority, at the threat of torture and death, is exactly the same as religion.

Let me jog your memory: Its a word you define in YOUR book. The rest of us share a book, to avoid confusion. We call it the dictionary.
