I wish I could like that twice 
Concepts like “corporations are people”, “money is free speech”, or concepts of dogma and heresy in religion can be seen as defense mechanisms. As memetic concept gets more entrenched it becomes more religion-like. Right wing dogmatic belief that capitalism is a best possible system is a good example.
Another good example is comparison between Soviet communism and religion made by Gustaw Herling Grudziński in his book “The World Apart”, in which he describes horrors of Soviet gulag where he was imprisoned for two years.
