120. This is actively demonstrated with certain political movements right now.

There is actually an extreme left wing (note: I say left wing, not Liberal, these people are not Liberal) ideology out there right now that is a copy of christianity but with the buzzwords changed. They have original sin. They demand constant repentance for your original sin. They are allowed to hate the out group. They have a nebulous powerful enemy power that is constantly working against them (Devil). They actively ban and suppress blasphemy. They are seeking power so they can enforce their ideology. What makes them a really big threat is they are banking on built up good will from their predecessors (who did good things) so it is taboo to speak against them. This last point is why I don't name them because I sometimes see the buzzwords of this ideology floating around here at DU.
