No, I gathered the similarities. However, if OP is implying that she sees fandom as a sort of religion, in which they believe everything is mostly true and would have happened, then. Uh. Yeah.

I don't believe in any religion, but insinuating to a religious person that believing in a higher power is akin to fangirling Harry Potter is just a tad insensitive.

However, I have hopes the OP may just be trolling.

Oh, in that case I agree with you completely. I interpreted the secret another way, but if the OP meant what you said, then yea, there is some kind of problem.

Haha, I know it's probably that they meant to non-religious people, believing in a religion is like fandom, but to a religious person who puts a lot of faith and belief into it, it's probably seen the other way around. xD;

Then again, I just have a really religious family and I may be a tad oversensitive to pleasing them.

LOL, no, that's not what I think at all! I was merely pointing out that the amount of devotion religious people have towards religion is just like the devotion fandom has for... fandom. And that I find religion infinitely more frightening. I'm not trolling, this is really what I think. Sorry if it offends you. That's part of the reason it's a secret.

Haha, I'm not religious, I can easily see why religion seems like a big fandom to you, honest. I'm just saying religious people might not take it as well, since it's a big part of who they are, and if they think as little about fandom as is... idk. It's probably more hurtful than not. Of course, I don't know your friend so idk how serious they'd take that. xD

orz I know, religion can be seriously frightening.

I'm a Christian... I can tell you that the wording struck me as mildly insulting, but nothing really "hurtful." Then, I've been in online fandom in one way or another for a long time and I've seen a lot of things said, a lot of the attitude toward religion, Christianity in particular, that seems to run in most fandom communities. I understand it, too - from an "outside" perspective, we Christians are pretty weird.

I think we're a bit weird and I am one.

I took it more as the OP expressing frustration at being annoyed by Christians in their life who don't "get" geekery.

Hmm. I see honest faith as one thing, "frightening religious obession" as another - both it and fandom can be taken too far, used as an excuse to be crappy to people and such - and it will happen with anything because we're all human.
