Christians and Marxists won't let them lose Islam!

Christianity and Islam are no traditions so they aren't and cannot be part of an identity. They both destroyed ethnic identities, but they never could eradicate them or form a new one. Identities cannot be formed in the halls of the palaces by authorities, because it is not in the nature of people to accept them. Those two have only created problems and solved none. People where forced to pretend to believe some doctrines, no-one could really understand or philosophise about them. So when regimes are forced to be something less than totalitarian, people loose their identity, because usually they don't know their real one. Many elements were taken from the native religions in order to make convertion easier and together with the basic doctrines, some variations were formed. Real traditions, however, adapt to changes normally, monotheistic variations cannot absorp anything new. So we have people who reject the doctrines, think that the monotheistic variation is their tradition, but their soul rejects it.
Millenarian political ideologies, as they are the political and ideological equivalent to monotheistic religions, try to force people to remain parts of monotheism, so they can add or replace the monotheistic elements. Communists and Anarchists want to go back to the time, where monotheism was about to seize power, without thinking that it will lead exactly to where it lead centuries ago, and what happened with communistic countries as well. The other side knows what happened and yearn for imperial times, thinking they will be the gentry and not the serfs.
