Question

I just want to see if others see the common denominators.

Answer 1

Christianity : a religious philosophy that exalts deity and congregation above the value of the individual and stands for authoritarian rule of a centralized theocracy headed by a divine leader/king. severe ostracism and eternal torture of those failing to conform and forcible suppression and censorship of opposition.


Main Entry: fas·cism
Pronunciation: 'fa-"shi-z&m also 'fa-"si-
Function: noun
Etymology: Italian fascismo, from fascio bundle, fasces, group, from Latin fascis bundle & fasces fasces
1 often capitalized : a political philosophy, movement, or regime (as that of the Fascisti) that exalts nation and often race above the individual and that stands for a centralized autocratic government headed by a dictatorial leader, severe economic and social regimentation, and forcible suppression of opposition
2 : a tendency toward or actual exercise of strong autocratic or dictatorial control

Answer 2

Fascism (IPA: [ˈfæː.ʃɪ.zm̩]) is a political ideology and mass movement that seeks to place the nation, defined in exclusive biological, cultural, and/or historical terms, above all other sources of loyalty, and to create a mobilized national community.

Christianity is a monotheistic[1] religion centered on Jesus of Nazareth and his life, death, resurrection, and teachings as presented in the New Testament.[2] Christians believe Jesus to be the Son of God and the Messiah prophesied in the Old Testament. With an estimated 2.1 billion adherents in 2001, Christianity is the world's largest religion.

Well, both are found on planet Earth, in our current solar system.

Both have had leaders (of a general nature) that lived in Italy.

Both system's leadership was composed entirely of men (as opposed to women).

That's about it.
