God doesn't work. Linux does. Prayers to God are left unanswered. Prayers to Linux are accepted via well defined interfaces and answered if you have the correct permissions.
Praise be to the Omnissiah!
God actually does answer prayers but they get blocked by ufw

So? (says while using terminal with gibberish commands to mere mortals)
no, linux is the kernel. "free software" is the religion
(but seriously, theres nothing here that could be called a religion, that would be like saying d&d is a religion or a cult because a lot of people like it, or like calling any community a religion. it makes no sense)
The difference between Linux and a cult is that Linus Torvalds actually did what he said he'd do.

Even free software isn't, because free software delivers objective, non-placebo benefits to people, whether they "practice it" or not. Even when they don't consciously participate or are even aware of it.

Troll grade: C-.
On this community, absolutely. In business, no it's just one of the things you use.
The true cultists are emacs users...and we keep getting stronger.
We belive in St. IGNUcious!

So which OS is which religion? Right now I'm thinking unix=Judaism (older, predecessor to newer oses), linux=Christianity (distros=demominations, roots in unix.), macos=Islam(jobs is their prophet, roots in unix). Not sure about Windows. I guess maybe it could be Christianity and Linux Hindu or Buddhist...
Windows can't be Christianity, it's not fragmented enough. It's either Scientology because it's tightly controlled and without meaningful denominations. Or Buddhism from a very western point of view (i.e. oblivious to the denominations and local variations).
Scientology because it saps your money.
