Belief, Faith, Ideology and Propaganda

Some people claim we are now live in a “post-ideological” world, but I think belief, faith and ideology do not go away, it is still there. Here are two very different videos representing two very different beliefs and ideologies:

The first video tells the life story of a 101 years old woman and her choice of a very political faith–Communism

The second video tells the story of Joseph Smith and his journey of building a brand new religion–Mormonism

There must be some connections between Belief, Faith, Ideology and Propaganda, what are the exact connections? Do we still need them in the 21 century?

In isolated populations this may be possible, but with mass media communication, I doubt it.
