    Absolutely none of those things are as deeply intertwined with capitalist power structures and ideology as religion is. A sober analysis of religion's function in our current, actual society shows it to politically be a rallying cry of violent oppression and culturally to be the great bastion of reaction. No one is using their belief in video games to throw their children out onto the streets. No one is rallying support for their anti-abortion laws because the masses support them due to a pro-life brand of alcohol.
