100% agree there's a religious hint about bitcoin. Personally, I don't like the religious allusions that accompany bitcoin. 1. Bitcoin is a lot of things: tech, math, physics, economics, philosophy, psychology, sociology, life coach?, other? But it'd not a religion. 2. It's disrespectful to real religions to "play religion" with things that are not.

I think the bitcoin-religion comparisons mostly pop on the scene because they're easy and they're fun.
