It's funny that we use "it's like a religion" as a reason to dismiss things but don't actually ever dismiss religion itself, for eg. by only hiring atheists or something (setting aside the discrimination angle... even if you could, you probably wouldn't not hire religious people)

Religion is all about primacy of age. Saying "it's like a religion" opens it to judgement based on that, and on that basis most subjects of that sentence are sitting at roughly Scientology in the pecking order.
