I see ancient wisdom (Stoicism, Taoism, etc) as the base layer of a particular protocol. We won't name the protocol, but it's something like "happiness and a good life".
I see modern religions (past couple thousand years) as alts/products/technologies. centralized alternative "improvements" that are incompatible with the original base layer. they don't add new properly-thin protocol layers to the base, they offer monolithic alternative stacks.
The reason I prefer Bitcoin and Lightning to Ethereum is the same reason I prefer stoicism and mindfulness to Christianity.
