Actually Chris, I believe that historically mathematics WAS a religion at
one time. So you are wrong. The Pythagoreans were as much a religion as
mathematicians. The existence of the dodecahedron was a big secret in
their sect. So I don't see how you can say that this is misleading.
Anything can be a religion including money, power, sex and even cats.
