By your standards, the Democratic Party is a religious institution:
Are you talking about the Democratic Party or democracy. Because you have some problems if the former.

Who are its deities? Jefferson, Lincoln, Kennedy.
Um, Lincoln was a Republican. Jefferson would have some problems with the current Dem party, too.

What are its specifically spiritual doctrines? The Constitution. The Scriptures according to the Founders.
How is The Constitution specific to the Dem party? This is more about the United States.

What are its rituals? Fourth of July, Flag Day, Veterans Day, conventions.
Again, more about the U.S. Not really rituals, either.

What spiritual practices do its members follow? Democracy.
Republicanism? We aren't really a democracy now, are we?


The ignorance--it burns.
Yep, it does. Are you seriously saying that the communists leaders in China and USSR weren't trying to replace traditional deities with themselves? That they didn't want religious devotion to the cause (much different than that of democracy, by the way)?
