Nothing surprising about this. As the Roman empire crumbled, would-be administrators and officials, were "reborn" into the Xtian church. Augustine was bred/educated to become a Roman administrator -- he wound up laying the foundations for the Catholic church and massacring its enemies.

We are now seeing Jesus in integrated circuits. Whatever. Folly and self-delusion are not mitigated by technical "progress." ( I am not arguing that all forms of religious consciousness are forms of folly and self-delusion. But most are excellent covers for these.)
