The "star system"
Beginning of "False atheism"
The need for sacred can lead to idolatry and to the creation of a real Pantheon for "Stars of the show", "gods of the stadium", leaders of the policy...
Like "illuminated believers" make with God, the "fans" center their existence on these of their idols, at the point to lose the consciousness of realities.
