Ruth Braine Dec 2, 2009:
Having googled the term 'political religionism', it seems to be a fairly acceptable phrase. However, the word 'religionism' seems clumsy to me. The word 'religion' means the same thing, so why use a longer, more complicated word unnecessarily? But I think both would technically be acceptable translations.

not political religionism?
