Everything you say about religion also applies to daytime television.

"The ability to watch daytime television is not really important for
the survival of a species. The vast majority of life on Earth give no
thought to daytime television. Most animals have not considered
daytime television nor have they rejected it. It is something not
conceivable to them. Daytime television is the providence known only
to man. Bitching about daytime television is like complaining that
we're human. "
