Because it also specifies irrational and fundamental aspects of how one should live, notably voting and freedom of speech.
Just like the CCP cult (中共邪教) has one fundamental belief: the Party is always right.

Accept democracy, and you will have Falun Gong (法轮功, Qigong new religion/cult).
There is no in-between.
