[The passage of an institution from point 1 to point 3 changes the message of the institution.
The message goes from conversion by persuasion (or example) to conversion by the sword.
All sovereigns have the sword, so why not use it?
If the objectorganization is so important that it must be imposed by sovereign power, it is important enough to worship as an idol.
Thus, sovereign religions veer towards idolatry.]
[Politics substitutes for religion, in the passage of an institution from point 1 to point 3.
Political machinations become a screen for religious convictions.
There is much to be said about this.

[Universal democracy leads to tyranny.
The Progressives, correspondingly, want universal democracy.]
[The Cult of American Progressivism spews a deluge of words in order to maintain bondage to our particular victimhoods.
Pneumo-pathological mechanisms establish of a sovereign religion.
Those grasping for power have objects that bring subjects into organization.
