entertainment as religion
"Media consultant Michael Wolfe said recently in the new Yorker, "I really believe entertainment in a lot of ways has become... a replacement for religion; in the same way people used to quote scripture, they're now quoting Seinfeld."
from The Culturally Savvy Christian: A Manifesto for Deepening Faith and Enriching Popular Culture in an Age of Christianity-Lite by Dick Staub (p 4)
Religion certainly makes great entertainment... not quite the same thing.
