Religion

A religion is a set of beliefs about the cause, nature and purpose of the universe. It normally involves belief in a supernatural power or powers, sometimes called "God", who is the creator of all existence and the source of the highest truth. Religion encompasses ancestral or cultural traditions, writings, history, and mythology, as well as personal faith and mystic experience. It usually involves devotional observances and rituals and prayer, and is often codified in a moral code or law which governs human affairs.

A cult springs up among the goggleheads who spend most of their free time in the Virtual World. Many believe they've found God in the mysterious Presence there. Christians see Jesus or the Virgin Mary, Jews see the Burning Bush, Buddhists see Buddha, Muslims see Allah or Mohammed, while atheists see nothing but sense some sort of Presence there.
