And just like the latter, they don't question their dogmas about a factual foundation, they defend them with silencing their critics, they try to shut them down with a lot of noise and with the possibilities that law offers to them, they pursue people which openly show to not share their dogmatic belief (always with the purpose to "educate" them about the "correct" things to believe in), they literally try to destroy their very existence, and they missionize all the time.
Already being perceivable as that, it's a tyranny and it spreads great insecurity among the masses.
It's not the kind of style one imagined life to be as.
