Notes
Elite religion (a.k.a. mainstream spirituality) is spirituality constructed in sSymbol Factories and propagated by Ideological Institutions.
Elite religion may be easily identified by its advocacy of violence (let's go kill some evil people), exclusion (only the "chosen" get in), and patriarchy (women are stripped of power and dignity).
More specifically, elite religion may be recognized by the presence of an Old Energy Creation Template.
Consider Persian Autocrat Aradashir took control of Zoroastrianism to further his imperial agenda.[2]
Elite spirituality is enacted by System Agents for the purpose of System Maintanence
