Ideology
Faith without God.
An academic term that has convinced many that by virtue of its phenomenology, it bears legitimacy in the real world. It does not.
Expressly designed to compromise comfort, happiness and stability in order to prime us to adopt another model deemed preferable by the anointed.
Each one is equipped with an escape hatch for its often predictable and inevitable failure - if it did not work, then it was not applied correctly. It is never the ideas that are wrong, it is because the implementation or execution of the ideas were not faithful enough. This makes ideologies immune from scientific inquiry because they are unfalsifiable. This does not mean that they cannot be examined or tested scientifically, it is just that every result will be considered irrelevant or misleading because it does not conform to their vision.
For ideologues, when their vision is measured against reality, if there are any disparities, then reality is wrong.
Frameworks whose origins emanate from the minds of those who proselytize on its behalf have confused themselves with God, or at least something more than human. Ideologues can be ignored without concern with respect to validity of concept. Retaliation is common, typically with appeals to emotion or with violence.
All ideologies are vacuous in nature, and they will swallow your humanity whole if you let your guard down.
