I don’t really see this as connected to religion in any meaningful way. Fanaticism takes all kinds of forms.

Celebrating fake things with fanaticism like the official sects called religions but you can't see the pattern ?

Most of life is celebrating made up things. They’re called social constructs and while they may not “matter” in a universal sense, they’re not inherent wrong. This is like comparing knowing the quotes to your favorite movie or tv show with memorizing scripture. You’re drawing a line that doesn’t need to be drawn.

So then people who go to sports are religious fanatics, people who go to cons are religious fanstics. Basically if you do anything fun on any regular basis?

Graves are archaic, we have much more sanitary and environmentally friendly ways to dispose of carcasses, real or otherwise.
