It's a modern day worldwide religion .... the religion of money. It only exists if we faithfully attend church every week or every day and pray to the gods of finance and hold everlasting faith to the almighty dollar. Our churchs are the banks, ATMs, restaurants, stores, malls and online shopping sites we see every day. Our membership cards carry our prayers in our credit and debit cards. Once the brethen lose faith in any part of it, the whole organization starts to fall apart.
We've always been like this. 3,000 years ago it was a golden calf. Today it's the little numbers counting which god is winning or losing on a stock market website.
