Isn’t that how religions got started in the first place? There’s always this special individual, who gets idolized after a while. He dies, time passes, legends accumulate and, all of the sudden, you end up with multiple stories of supernatural deeds. That’s how it was up until now. The problem is there’s much more people these days and they’re slightly better educated. The principle though remains the same. Britney might not become the next messiah, but modern idols are worshipped in a way that makes me reminiscent of religion.
