Is being an Apple fan its own religion now?

 

http://www.pocketables.net/2011/05/research-suggest-apple-incites-a-religious-following.html

A recent study by the BBC show Secrets of the Superbrands has made an interesting discovery.  The study took volunteers from a crowd of Apple fans at a London product launch. These volunteers were given MRI scans by a neuroscientists, who noted an interesting anomaly: the frenzy of Apple adoration and marketing were actually stimulating the same parts of the brain stimulated by religion.

Well Joe,

While I am not a Mac head, I do love my iPad...as well as my iPod and my kids iPod touch. I have lined up (for the iPad 1 and 2). But I do not consider myself an Apple worshiper. On the other hand, I could see how having long lines of people standing for hours in front of building on a rainy day could make you think there was something really important going on...or a free giveaway!

So, I could understand that religion and Apple would stimulate the same parts of the brain.

There is no diety involvment when it comes to Apple products. So religion and Apple cannot coexist until the day when one person decides to percieve Apple objects as a diety.

Downvote.

Bull shit. I have a Mac. I've only ever owned Macs. The reason why is I don't LIKE computers. I do not worship my fucking computer any more than I would worship a toaster, a hammer, or a toilet (though I have prayed to the porcelain gods).

I would like to say no because there is not diety involvement. The worship of the nature and the existence of God is consider a religon.

I am not saying that Apple Products can't be perceived as a diety.
