MODERATORS
Tech absolutism, capitalism meritocracy, the whole cult of men trying to out tough each other and worshipping the idea of unique individualism through shared identity of shittiness.
I mean religion is a belief system of how the world works. Lots of people have a belief that doesn't match reality in some way, but it's a simpler option than meeting the world each time as unique for handling day to stuff. When you can have Faith® and just focus on your stuff and figure it will figure itself out cause something out there will do the saving.
A bit of a stretch if you ask me.
Hard disagree on the tech absolutism. That might be a cult but it's not a religion.
Even then, I'm a tech absolutist because I'm qualified to know why others are wrong.
What's the difference between a cult and a religion in your opinion?
A fake deity to worship that's supernatural in origin.
