In my experience ideology is a lot like religion it's a belief system and most people cling to it long after it becomes clear that their ideology doesn't describe the real world.

About This Quote

When people choose to believe in something without any logical or empirical reasons, they are doing so because of their ideology. An ideology is a belief system that usually includes one or more beliefs, which are often repeated over and over again, usually with emotional persuasion. Ideology is different from religion for example because an ideology can be proven wrong while religion is not. An ideology can be anything from politics to business to sports.
