Probably but you can equally call out other life style choices. Political parties? Remember the Hippies, Moonies those American sects where they usually all decide to die together? The North Korean devotion to their supreme leader is another example of political rather than religious control.
For me, a lapsed Catholic, I am totally against abortion, capital punishment and early death intervention (so pro life). Now I don't know whether that is because I have been pre programmed to believe that (which I was) or is it because I truly believe it (which I'd argue I do). i.e. Has my pre programming on the subject at an early age, even now, affected my ability to think straight on the subject? Don't they say show me the child at 7 and I will show you the man?
