Religious Movements Versus Ideological Movements

The religious movements are more influential and long-lasting than the ideological movements. The appeal of the ideological movements never extends beyond the intellectual and political circles in one or two nations, and they become obsolete within a generation. But the religious movements like Hinduism, Judaism, Christianity, Buddhism, Islam, and others have survived for several millennia—they have had a massive impact on the culture and politics of not only the nation where they were founded but in many other nations.
