Query: Another forgotten gem by a master

Well executed book about the rise of a new religion celebrating death which sweeps the globe. Vidal skewers organized religion and the politics that too often twists virtuous ideas into oppressive dogma, and seemingly rational people into homocidal/suicidal fanatics. Published in 1954, this one remains fresh and all to relevant today.
