The Religion of Secularism

I can't be the first one to notice the similarities between secularism and organized religion. In point of fact, I believe religion is the only way to explain the zealotry of the left. As I say though, I can't be the first. Still, I doubt there's as extensive a list comparing how much secularism resembles Christianity.
