(2014) Politicization of religion, the power of symbolism, Basingstoke, Palgrave Macmillan.
There is a great difference between a war being categorized as "religious' and religion being politicized for the purpose of achieving a political goal. However, it can at times be hard to tell the difference between the two. It can be especially hard to do so when the difference between "pretend to be" and "is' is obscured almost beyond a point of recognition. In this case it is the point when "making a choice" or "having many choices' is just a falsified picture, a one-dimensional image1 of really having in fact no choice at all, since the objective choice would include the possibility of not choosing. This strategy thrives in today's world of commercial economics, where the superficiality of commerce combined with the level of abstraction in theoretical economics moves any mountain as only religion is able to do, due to its belief that divinity turns the world into its own image.2
