Indeed, I would consider an animal hierarchy to be political in nature, due to the fact that animals have been observed to do the following to gain the top spot:

1) Sabotage (or kill) rivals physically.
2) Use under-handed tricks to take them out of the spot.
3) Try to impress the others enough to trust him/her.

Sounds like politics to me.

Yeah, gays cause hurricanes, tits cause earthquakes, and lack of prayer causes tornadoes. Learn to science, people.

Sure does. But it also sounds like some aspects of religion.

I'll stop eating beef lamb and pork the same day they start letting me eat vegetarians.

The organisation aspect sure. Theological (which is what makes a religion a religion), not so much.
