I think we agree but are arguing at cross purposes. By idealogy I mean the consistent or not set of ideas and beliefs used to make judgements. What you refer to I would simply call dogma.

Prehaps, but the word dogma usually applies to religious people. The thing I'm reaching at applies to other kinds of analysis, such as the idea that free markets are always more efficient, or the idea that social programs always improve people's standard of living, or the idea that war is always unjustified.
