Don't hurt yourself explaining this MasterofAgony693, just let that one go. If there are fractions in 40k that would mirror the religious zealots in our world, tyranids would not be the best example my friend. Do you know anything about my Legion?

Sanguinious Lives- Sigh... Lets do this. 1 I don't think you understand republicanism well enough. The Romans were republicans, the renaissance Italian city states were republics. A lot of the post monarchy governments of Europe were republics. The Union during the Civil War of America was run by republicans. You are labeling the most ignorant, selfish, people as the exemplars of republican ideology, which they are not. When you think republican stop thinking Sarah Palin, think Abraham Lincoln. 2 Democrats, socialists, and liberals had just as much of a hand in the recession; it went further than partisanship. I'm not going to educate you about this. 3Anarchists of a leftist persuasion are just as prevalent, more so than those of a conservative mindset depending on where you are living. 4Reactionary ecclesiarchs, (is not really a term used but assuming you mean religious zealots, of Christianity particularly). They do not believe that women have no rights. It is their religious understanding that women and men are to serve complementary roles in society and in the home. This is not putting anyone down. It is their belief(of the men and women, nobody is forcing anybody) based on divine revelation and natural law and given that everyone has a right to practice their faith as they would it is not your place to mock. Get your mid out of the gutter about that. Also societies in which gender roles are strongly defined are statistically happier, more productive, and have a birthrate with the capacity of replacing the current population. So there is that. 5 Yes they preach that their religion is the best, because, guess what, if they didn't think that they wouldn't be preaching that religion. However those of an authentic religious understanding promote their religion peacefully and believe that it will win out in the end because it is true. They are more tolerant to other religions actually. You see plenty of priest, reverends, and rabbis joining forces when facing issues like abortion.
