It has some similarities with religion in that it helps to make sense of a chaotic world, see and interpret an intentful hand behind events and to sort and connect them in more manageable and seemingly logical patterns. - There is also some in-group / out-group sorting involved.

The major difference to religion is that it doesn't touch metaphysics at all.
