Religions are based on faith, not reality. Once you understand the bitcoin protocol, there is no mystery to it.
No mystery? You mean like the imaginary disappeared pseudo Japanese crypto genius who created, lead his disciples and disappeared? You mean that no mystery? :-)
There is plenty of mystery here, and faith. People buying coins have faith in it's value. People who do transactions on first confirmation have faith in no double spends. We ALL have faith there isn't some government super computer crunching away this very moment intend of outrunning our BTC chain and pulling a 51%.
This whole thing is based on faith. Faith in numbers, in math, in the 'invisible hand of the market', faith in the very idea of remaking the world to be a more fair equitable place.
