>>530025>Did you know that both religions and secular ideologies constitute worldviews and people can feel passionate about them?That said, I would argue that Marxism is more like Confucianism than a religion. Not in the sense that Marxism upholds caste systems, harmonious orders or filial piety like Confucianism, but in the sense that it is a secular philosophy around temporal, human social forces which often competes with religions (and has a tendency to get called a religion for this reason) and is centered around a series of "sage" figures, with Marx taking the role of the original "Great Sage" similar to Confucius.
