Economics is not math, its a religion.

The guy I'm replying to and i are quoting a movie about a troubled mathematician searching for a pattern in the stock market.

That aside, I disagree with your assertion that economics is a religion. I agree it's not math though. It uses math to form models for predictive/descriptive purposes, as do a lot of disciplines.
