They are the same thing.
Religion may mask itself as the way to save the soul and avoid eternal damnation but all it really is is a way to control the masses.

Negative.

A non-religious political position allows for alternatives and opposition. A religion seeks to convert all in order to realize some destiny.

The same.
A political party tries to convert all to its ideology in order to realise it's destiny.
Don't like one political ideology, convert to another or opt out altogether.
Don't like one religious ideology, convert to another or opt out completely.

You just think that way because you confuse your religion with politics.

So do you. Ergo there is no practical difference between a political or religious ideology.

I am not confusing anything. I do not lie about my religion.
