Yes. I was just re-using it.

It could be argued, from a certain point of view, as you say. I do think that those things you mentioned, and I might add consumerism (arguably the world's biggest religion) but that would be generalising. There are ways in which none of these things are quite like religion in the strict sense, I think.
