Indeed.

Not that it’s my field, but I wouldn’t be shocked if this has a lot to do with the human propensity to fall for religion.

Many humans actually have genetic traits that make them more likely to become religious [citation needed].

I suspect religion is interchangeable.

I recall a research case a decade or so back, where they took a huge Apple fan and showed him Apple logos and products while doing an MRI or something and his brain lit up the same way a religious persons brain would when you show them religious iconography, like a cross.

Some people are simply followers, doesn’t matter what.

Some people like to exploit that, such as Trump and Joe Rogan. Surprised they’re not peddling NFT’s and Crypto.
