Hmm... the first question I asked was for "Sapiens" by Yuval Harari: "Is liberalism a religion?" This was one of the more interesting points that the book made very explicitly: > The modern age has witnessed the rise of a number of new natural-law religions, such as liberalism, Communism, capitalism, nationalism and Nazism. These creeds do not like to be called religions, and refer to themselves as ideologies. But this is just a semantic exercise. If a religion is a system of human norms and values that is founded on belief in a superhuman order, then Soviet Communism was no less a religion than Islam. But it answered: > No, liberalism is not a religion. It is a political and economic ideology that believes in individual rights and freedoms, limited government, and the rule of law. It is based on the principles of liberty, equality, and fraternity.
