Religions are to spirituality
What video games are to reality.
An infra fiction.
A reassuring bubble of mapped conceptual references, and emotional sign posts.
An illusion.
There is a console which keeps the fiction going and ensures maintenance of consistency among the constituting elements.
Unplug it.
It is both more addictive and more destructive than any video game.

Certainly,
You wouldn’t imagine how realistic graphics can be.
the more realistic they become, the more they remind us how life itself is convincing.
They are days when I truly believe I’m living this life as a first-person character.

I understand what you mean by referring to the destructive potential of religion.
It really becomes the whole universe for some people.
They literally smother under the pressure of the walls references, concepts and words.
