People can be categorized according to their view of government. As a person’s view of government is affected by their view of God, these categories can be characterized by their view of God. Here are four of them:
To conservatives, God is God.
To liberals, society is god.
To libertarians, the individual is god.
To the ruling class, they are god.
Notice that none of these groups are characterized as seeing government as god. This is because all four ideologies accept a role of government: their god simply defines the limits of that government. Also notice that the last three are all variations on the same thing: liberals, libertarians, and the ruling class all see man as supreme, they only differ as to which man or group of men is supreme.
