I rather think that a society can get by without ANY ideologies. Certainly England seems to be doing okay, and you Brits are much less religious than Americans.
I haven't read this thread in its entirety yet (just lettin' ye all know).
Anyway, I'm not understanding the above statement. Surely any and every society that exists today, and has existed in the past, has at the very least, some semblance of ideology intrinsically present in its very being. The gods are with us all, are they not?

"A survey of people's religious beliefs in 10 countries suggests the UK is among the most secular nations in the world.
Ten thousand people were questioned in the poll by research company ICM for the BBC programme What The World Thinks Of God.
More than a quarter of Britons thought the world would be more peaceful with nobody believing in God, but very few people in other countries agreed."
Thanks Bill, but I wasn't talking about religion per se. Consider my previous comments a light form of derision regarding Erik's lack of concision.
