Yakk, discounted future - that's a really interesting concept - and one I've not come across or thought about in those terms before - thanks! And yes, communism (especially of the Lenin/Stalinesque/Maoist type) is about as close as it gets to religion.
As for religion and fanaticism being the root of all evil? - It does seem a bit simplistic to blame everything on organised belief - the answer then, has to be no.
