You raise an interesting point Ollie. I see Marxism or democracy as social experiments. Things that we don't know how they will turn out until we adopt them for a trial.

Religion, on the other hand involves blind faith which implies the suspension of rationality. How someone as ostensibly smart as our very own snooker could believe the world is only about 5,000 years old in spite of incontrovertible evidence to the contrary is a clear example of the lunacy of such a tenet.

While we're at it ollie, how many deaths have there been in support of democracy.... hmmm?
