...Oh, and anarchy was not a religion, last I checked. Sorry V...

V is the the central character in the V for Vendetta comics, written by Alan Moore. V is an anarchist terrorist. Indeed, V's religious affiliation can best be described as "anarchist."

Anarchy (as a philosophy) does not always function as a religion, and many people who are self-described "anarchists" can be classified as having another, more traditionally recognized religious affiliation. But for V, anarchist philosophy is central to his character. This does not mean that "anarchy is a religion," per se. It means that for V, being an anarchist is his religion.
