Interesting thought you have there, well regarding religion i don't think all religions are decentralized. There are both centralized as decentralized religions, for instance take Scientology or Buddhism. Those two are very centralized structured religions in contrast to as example The Amish or Hinduism. The comparison between religion and blockchain is in a general sense not really applicable. Maybe if you state that blockchain and a specific decentralized religion have common grounds you have a point there. Just my opinion, will keep an eye out if anyone else have some interesting view on this matter.

To consider the ancient concept of the blockchain can relate with religion. Being decentralized in nature and cannot be destructed physically but has a higher importance of value.

in relegiouse concept we decide to trust in our religion without seeing who are running it , same case with block chain concept it records the growing list of crypto currencies and the value of those electronic currency completely depends on our trust.

That's interesting post. I like the idea how you compared religion with blockchain. To to some point I could not deny your thoughts regarding blockchain system.

This is damn right man. You have explained the system in a easy manner that will help the newbie to understand the basic function of blockchain. However, I expect you to share your thoughts regarding blockchain in details that will share the community a lot.

You are a good example of a noob who doesn't understand blockchain at all, yet reveres it as something truly great and world-changing. Blockchain is immutable, append-only database that should be used by parties that don't trust each other to eliminate cheating. Your comparison with religion is completely way off, because organazied religions are pretty centralized, they have small groups of highest priests that make all the important decisions. Religion is not a database, and it's not immutable - old religions are forgotten and the new ones take their place - but in blockchain nothing is forgotten, new data is written on top of old data, and old data is never deleted.

i am fully agree with you and this is really a great example of blockchain from ancient era. It will really help the newbie to understand the operational part of blockchain. Even I have got more clear about the technology of blockchain.

religion is centralised. maybe you should interview the Pope and find out more about his organisation.

however its distributed..
there is a big difference between decentralised and distributed

EG
banks. bank notes are not held in one single vault which if caught on fire would destroy all money.
bank notes are distributed. so if i burned a bank note in my pocket it wont affect or burn all the bank notes as they are not all clumped toogether..

but banknotes are centralised.

banks themselves are distributed. and not just one bank branch/HQ but many bank branches HQ's regional offices etc. but still centralised.

religion is not an open dcentralised system where everyone has both equal and no overal power alone to change the protocol.

religions do change and its people like the pope that change it, like making public statements that gay marriage may not be a sin no more. or that his ministers need to stop fooling around with the chiorboys.
so although centralised that "the pope" has more control than individuals.. killing the pop wont kill religion, because another pope in another location will get promoted because its distributed. but not dcentralised

maybe i should clarify this. what i meant is most religion. not all or certain religion. and i hope people didn't got me wrong to equate religion and blockchain. i just stated the idea is pretty similar and i just hope newbie people can understand from this point of view. i am no expert, i just come with this idea and want to share with others.
