If Statism is to be regarded as a religion, the worship of the State, then what dogma would be associated to its ethos?

To see it as anything other then Satan worship I think is wrong and misguiding. To demand a religion of the government for the the government by the government is manmade and Satan works in many ways though many people the government can not be of GOD it was said in the bible

Thats a really weird way of looking at it.
How could you look at it as a unified religion rather than a semiuniformed political ideology?

I see statism in this manner because it shares many similarities with a standard unified religion. Those who support an all powerful State see it much like a deity, they ask it to solve their problems, they revere politicians much like clergy and even have ceremonial aspects that they follow. Is this the clarification you are looking for?
@Pate49 just seems like a oversimplification for the stretch goal of hitting like the third definition religion.
If you asked the axioms of Statism it would be a more efficient way of viewing it. Since it's based but also has extreme variations on thought.
Saying the structure of voluntary association minigovernemt an involuntary government structure are similar so are the same is problematic.
It creates a framing arguement that sidesteps the actual point You're attempting to discuss.
@CodeNameZebra indeed it may be an over simplification, that’s why I posited the idea. I could be completely off in my observation. I’m looking for a starting point of discussion to see if, 1, the two are infact comparable and 2, if so, what are the dogmatic results if they can be equally compared.
@CodeNameZebra I guess another way of looking at it would be through the filter of Communism. The State abolished religion in the attempt to make the State the God of the people.
