Article
This is an interesting article comparing geekly reverence for Star Wars, Star Trek, and other sci-fi mythologies with religious belief systems. Both, claims the article, tap into the same human instincts. The interesting idea is that when reason replaces dogma, we are left with a god-shaped hole in our psyches, one that we fill with heroes, villains, and supernatural cosmologies.
I wonder if there's any cog/neuro evidence to back this up? I'll let you know if I come across any.
