"Religion" is an orientation you can take towards just about anything. To take X as a religion means to orient towards X as a primary source of the things religions provide: meaning, community, ritual, etc. So if you get those from SV then SV is your religion.https://twitter.com/TheAnnaGat/status/1138153859098992640 …
When you look out at the world asking "what are people taking as their religions" you get all sorts of answers back: fandoms, social media, ideologies, video games. Unfortunately most of these are terrible religions. E.g. they're mostly for young childless people, not families.
Riffing off a recent SSC post, most modern religions-in-this-sense have been selected memetically, not culturally. They're collections of viral sticky memes that people are drawn to but that's very different from actually promoting long-term individual and group flourishing.

I'd expect most religions-for-young-people to become family-oriented as the adherents grow up. E.g. video games: I originally got into them via my dad, and all the gamer parents I know are introducing the hobby to their kids as soon as the kids are old enough. Fandoms similarly.
By "for" I more have in mind whether their structures are specifically geared towards supporting and strengthening families. E.g. the usual consent ideology in social justice is mostly inapplicable to raising children, I think.
