Argues that politics has taken on the features of religion, claiming as its own the prerogative of defining the purpose and meaning of human life. This book examines this 'sacralization of politics' historically and theoretically, seeking to identify various ways in which political regimes have depended on faith, myths, rites, and symbols.
