Just figured out a test for figuring out someone’s religion. Look fo the dead words (words used strictly with unexamined negative or positive valence) at the highest active level of abstraction.
Silly example: I’m talking vegetables and how I like or dislike various dishes based on various vegetables. But one vegetable only has mentions in the context of dishes I dislike. That’s a dead vegetable. My “vegetable religion” is hatred of that dead vegetable.
