Humans are weak and vulnerable as individuals but in groups we gain power, security and environmental dominance. Religions create a narrative which people can adopt and follow - it creates the potential for 'us and them' dynamics which can then be used to justify conflict between competing groups. This process is fundamental to life and the DNA that codes it. The competition for territory, energy and resources that underpins all known life.

Bitcoin however proposes a revolutionary new narrative- one with a narrow focus upon the monetary protocol which is nonetheless very important to how large organised human groups operate.

Bitcoin removes any religious or political control or leverage over the way in which people can trade between each other, and treats all participants in a strictly equal manner with no fear or favour.

In a world where power is now being increasingly concentrated via protocols, Bitcoin is unique in being a protocol that decentralises power and distributes power rather than concentrating it.

Bitcoin discourages debt slavery- something that most religions also fought to discourage if not outright banish. Jesus and Mohammad would surely have approved of Bitcoin.
