The real religion of the US is capitalism
Marx actually wrote on the concept of Capital as a "real god," ie something actively worshipped, not just a quick metaphor. It's super interesting and very funky.
Do you know where I might find more about that? Like, what should I search for? Never mind, I found it.
Yep, that should be good! Marx gets funky.
Americans worship money.
Many people in various cultures worship ( or at least value above many other things) money or the status goods it brings.
This becomes obnoxious quickly.
