Can you imagine a civilization that knows how to build rockets and spacecraft and has mastered orbital mechanics, but holds a consensus belief in astrological interpretations of the universe? Ie they can get to Mars, but their reason to go there is to meet the god of war?

I know people who are smart enough to build rockets that think the earth is 6000 years old. So yeah.

Easier to compartmentalize time-based issues than object-based ones.
I'm struck by the fact that we don't really have any current planet-based cults. Did that disappear with the rise of Christianity? Or has it persisted somewhere?
