State fascism?
Religious fanatics have always found their home in the heart of religion and marched with “Gott mit uns” on their belts. Tempted by a world of total certainty and control, they displayed contempt for the mind and uncritical acceptance of authority from above. Their words betrayed a belief that the world is decaying and must be rescued from nihilism and rootlessness. Their words portray an appeal for tradition and an emphasis on inequality, stern laws, and warfare against decadence.
In such a world, security and stability is a currency that is easily exchanged for freedom and justice.
