Yes, and you do realize this isn't the religion forum.
I never said anything about religion now did i? I just said you are quick to label a party right away as if no democratic party posts anything here ever Get it ?
Seems to me each party has become its own religion.
Worshiping the religion and not the nation.
It is not different than the Holy War being wage now across the globe.
If you look at the leadership of both political parties, one is dominated by rich white people, but with some non white people in positions of power while the other political party's leadership is nearly all white and male.
If you look at the constituencies of both political parties, you find one party's constituency still mostly white, but with a huge percentage of non white people, as compared to the other political party whose constituency is nearly all white.
You could do this kind of differentiation of the political parties on a number of levels, and the reality leads one to reach the same conclusion.
The Democratic party is much more diverse than the conservative party.
This means generally there is much more disagreement amongst Democrats than there are disagreements amongst conservatives.
This means that conservatives are much more unified in their beliefs than the Democratic party.
What does a religion require? Shared beliefs. Objectively speaking the conservative party is much, much, much closer to having its members treat it like a religion than the Democratic party.
No.. the difference is Dems don't worship ANY particular religion and want to keep religion OUT of legislation. We are a more diverse party...
The religion is only on the Republican side..
MMMMMMMMMM i dunno about that , i would lean more to the republic side but i am not a religion freak, i actually think religion should not be mixed or used in politics.
On a slight sidenote: North Korea has practically banned all religion. Now would you rather call it the least or the most religious country in the world?

In a sense. I see where you're going with this.
The main problem today is that there is no perceived middle ground. Any politician on either side that steps out of lock-step with their party seems to get trounced...

Of course that doesn't apply to all repulsive nor does the lack of religion apply to all dems. However many of the parties overall stance on issues is always stated as being Christian based. Although if you ask me a lot of their attitudes seem lacking of compassion and doesn't seem to have much of Christ in it to me.
Never worship or trust politicians, they will always break your heart or $crew you over. And beware those on either side of the aisle politicizing everything, not only are they irritating, they're boring, and when they get power they're dangerous.
Peggy Noonan said it best when she wrote “Beware the politically obsessed. They are often bright and interesting, but they have something missing in their natures; there is a hole, an empty place, and they use politics to fill it up. It leaves them somehow misshapen.”

Statism IS a religion
I think that much like king worship. Totalitarian regimes require worship of the leader with religious zealotry. In fact, in North Korea I think the current leader's grandfather was considered to be a GOD who would never die amongst the people of North Korea. At least that was what I saw on a documentary about North Korea.
Again, of the two political parties, which one worships a leader by the name of Ronald Reagan? Which one invokes Ronald Reagan's name like a religious chant election after election?
Democrats don't do that. They don't invoke the name of FDR, or Kennedy, or Clinton, or any President really. No Democrat goes around saying I am an FDR Democrat or a Kennedy Democrat.
conservatives go around saying I am a Reagan Republican. Republican Presidential candidates still bring up Reagan's name repeatedly in appearances and debates.
Which political party worships the nation's founders to fetishization?
American conservatives are a worshipping bunch period.
The main problem today is that there is no perceived middle ground. Any politician on either side that steps out of lock-step with their party seems to get trounced...
This is just not the truth.
The Democratic party is the middle ground. And I don't view this as a particularly good thing about the Democratic party.
Based on their public policy positions, the political leadership of the Democratic party is mostly moderate or center left is the term.
President Obama is a moderate. Bill Clinton is a moderate. Hillary Clinton is a moderate. Joe Biden is a moderate. The Democratic party is dominated by moderate not very ideological elected officials especially at the national level.
Being too liberal is what is seen as a problem for Democrats amongst democrats.
The conservative party is dominated by conservatives. Not being conservative enough is what is seen as a problem for republicans.
