I feel like I found a prokaryotic version of fnord, which is almost a different species. Only one word, repeated with no skills or subtlety, and then directly used as a punchline. I think modern-day fnords are supposed to have a larger vocabulary, so they can better merge with the text.
Eh, it’s the same thing even if we replace some instances of the word ‘religion’ with synonyms like ‘X fetishism’, ‘worshipping at X altar’, ‘fundamentalism’, ‘X-god’.

Interestingly enough, this is what the original ur-fnord was.
