Yes, totally and they are equally (or more) worthy of our contempt.
Basically I have no problem with what religious people believe in their own private lives, but when someone is motivated to write laws or tell me how I should live *my* life by a fictional Paternal Sky-Master then I get angry.
The Cult of Apple's reaction to Jobs's death (sad I know, I'm not trying to detract from this) was fascinating and weird. All these people were like "OH NOES OUR MESSIAH IS DED, HE WAS THE BESTEST MAN EVAR" and (no joke) I saw someone say "nobody has done more to change our world and technology" on twitter and it took all of my willpower to restrain myself from replying with "KNOWLEDGE FAIL: See Nikola Tesla or Henry Ford, iBitch!".
Still, at least Jobs really existed.

Given the religious context of this thread...
...I read that as "The Cult of Apple's reaction to Job's death".
Amazing how context alters your perception, isn't it?
