Religion a viral meme?

What if the 3 major religions today are nothing more than viral memes...corrupted instructions...each one acting only as an agent to replicate itself in the human psyche...once taking hold it seeks to replicate...preachings, sacred books, temples, wars...whatever it takes for the continuation of the viral memes existance.


The fact that the Majors (Christianity, Judaism, Muslim) are all written as sacred text is a large factor in how viral they are. The written word from God is not to be trifled with except by the Priest cast. The Priest cast is the final arbiter on the written word. The Priest cast will and does pick and chose text to support whatever theological theme that pops up. Inconsistancies, omissions and out of context quotes are overlooked in order to make theological and political points.
