Nov 6 2012: I think Daf has a great point, how would it be possible to differentiate between advertising and religion. After all advertising is asking us to take a view on blind faith that our very needs and wants will be satisfied both as an individual and as a member of a clique, if only we subscribe to the "buy" this new product or process.
So what is the difference between that and religion exactly?
Don't get me wrong, I buy into the whole god thing, it is just religion looks so like advertising if we allowed our children to see how fake advertising is how will they stay in contact with religion?
