Both of religion and ideology have properly arranged the way to achieve the “ideal-condition” even needed serious struggle to realize it. Moreover, both of religion and ideology have also given inner satisfaction and strength to their followers. Religion and ideology can be illustrated as ‘both side of coin’ which is interrelated.
