Actually, I find myself more stymied by the ‘radical’ part than by the ‘religion’ part. I don’t know what RE is, besides that ‘fanatics who feel strongly for a cause will make pawns go down before they themselves do’, which is why in this particular instance I think it is not even necessary to say ‘religion’. Similarly: ‘But efforts! You mean experiments on people were attempted and failed?! Arrgh, this is WORSE than eugenics!’, ‘But marijuana! It’s WORSE than just a ‘drug’ - chloral hydrate is a ‘drug’, and soil ecologists use it all the time!’, ‘But taxation! I have been robbed only once, and I pay taxes every month!’.
Only in the sense that “radical anything” is a religion.
