What? Emacs is in fact a digital anarchism - complete opposite of religion. It's Kropotkin¹ with parentheses - mutual aid through package sharing, no central authority (even RMS can't dictate your config), and every user autonomously creating their own means of production. The 'religion' rhetoric is just subversive humor disguising a radical experiment in computational self-governance.

Where IDEs impose hierarchical workflows, Emacs says 'no gods, no masters, only defun' It's not a cathedral or a bazaar - it's an infinite commune where every buffer is a consensus decision you make with yourself.
