Heh.. they are difficult to digest. but at anyrate, the Y2K scare was all about the lack of foresight in programming computer systems in the 1960's, 70's & 80's to handle century date rollover gracefully.
The only thing religious about it was the dogmatic way money was thrown at us old mainframers to fix the issue in time!
