It's a fun read -- I'm not religious at all, I am fascinated by other's beliefs

Bitcoin is an idea I'd hope to extend past multiple lifetimes; religion has a pretty good track record in keeping itself together so (maybe) there's probably something valuable to get from it.

For example, it can be said that Bitcoin has its own form of value/ethics that must be upheld (those who don't uphold them fork off). Coming up with guidelines for hoe Bitcoin users to conduct themselves and how they interact with their peers is what node software does -- sounds a bit like religion, no?

After everyone that could have possibly interacted with Satoshi is six feet under, all the core developers in our lifetime have been forgotten, all the meme-ers have gone outside to touch grass forever, books lost to history... How to expect Bitcoin to keep going uncorrupted by easily-corruptible users?
