Heheh...yes.  Safety in numbers, my friend, safety in numbers.  :)

Yes, but I prefer to worship a loving god, or at least think there's a
god somewhere out there running the show.  I'd much rather worship a
real god than my employer.  I mean, I thank them for the paycheck and
all, but make them my god?  There is a power greater than them.
