There are lots of very different aspects that draw people into religions. I know a good bunch of openly religious people, and that does not sound like any of them.

Well except maybe my brothers ex, who converted into a Hare Krishna. (Krishnaism?)

So you can bring what is attractive about religion into politics and movements but you inherently destroy the rationality in them.
There are many attractive things about religion that don't inherently contradict rationality, such as rituals, feeling of community and shared ethical values.
