In difference to traditionalist countries, the western world has developed a very individualized religious institution.
According to Marx, any religious or metaphysical practice must basically be analyzed in the economic structure.
Nowaday people in the western world feel free, because their free to believe in what they want to.
That all sounds good - but what if there is an umbrella of some kinda meta-ideology that is collecting all individual beliefs and canalize them into a beam, that will be an equipment for the system to maintain the false idea of common identity.
Just think about:
People who can't find any other explanation why Egypt & China developed civilisations 1000's of years ago before we did... (how they could develop civilisations while all europeans were still beating eachother with wooden clubs.?) ...than "it must be because they had visitors from outer space to build their pyramids", rather than realizing that the european civilisation simply was developed a few thousand years later (no mysterium in a biological perspective - just a random, small fluctuation).
I don't ridicule people who believe in life at other planets - I also believe so. But it's simply a more obvious explanation that Egyptian & Chinese civilisation was earlier mature than european civilisation, than if they were colonised by little green men, or something like that...
It's a postmodern crypto-religious belief, mainly in the western world, that UFO's from outer space actually developed the chinese & egyptian civilisation 1000's of years B.F.
We think we're released from religious dogmatic tyranny, but in fact peoples socalled "individualised beliefs" are all canalized the same way, and the direction of flow is steered by an elite consisting of "The Empire" = a collaboration between the political & economic power.
People don't think free, if they believe in the idea of historical evolutionism (defined as the ideology in which civilisations are believed to be moving towards a higher state by time; and believing that western civilisation has reached the highest level.)
The western world is built upon corpses & arrogance, don't you see?
