@St_Rev@semiotechnic the actual product is the binders-full-of-rules from Snow Crash, the blueprint for a way of life, a society -
@St_Rev@semiotechnic when believers say they believe in God the energy of it comes from meaning that they believe the way of life is right -
@St_Rev@semiotechnic the believing in the existence of Sky Daddy is a layer of doublethink on top of that used as a shibboleth -
@St_Rev@semiotechnic so it comes around to: the religious impulse is the social impulse, which doesn't need the supernaturalizing impulse -
@St_Rev@semiotechnic this is how believers see perfectly well atheists being as religious as them, and atheists respond "lol idiot"
