Summary

This quote suggests that political and social institutions are essentially like religions that manifest themselves in the world. It implies that these institutions hold a significant influence over society, shape beliefs and values, and become a tangible manifestation of a collective faith or ideology. Just as religions take form through rituals, teachings, and symbols, political and social institutions likewise materialize through their practices, governing systems, and ideologies, ultimately becoming a guiding force for people's lives.
