In fact, it seems that religion for the most part -- as opposed to personal spirituality -- is mass produced, surely one of its (primarily Xtianity's) aims is to present itself to all as the correct way of life (or after-life [post-life, even]), and therefore, which lends to an easier way for corporations to co-opt the image or meaning, and commodify it even more. Those people look like zombies, for sure. I worked in a theatre three to six years ago, and people would rent out one of the screens and watch their own movies on sundays. They were always friendly, but I was not aware of it being part of a large structured thing that orchestrates that.

No real need to comment.... But I can't resist the temptation. The remaking of Xtian religion in the image of the 21st Century American imperial profit-center is the final indignity heaped upon a long corrupt history that begin with Nicea (if not before). JHVH help us all..... The picture pretty much says it all. No real need to comment….
