I think it does parallel a religion to some extent, in that it's like being called a heretic by a religion of which you are not a member. It's just hard to take seriously.

That's not what most people mean when they use the term.
It specifically means: people who do not own Bitcoin and are very sour to have missed a once in a lifetime opportunity and will attack it out of pure spite.
Using that kind of pejorative term for anyone who's not in the inside, is very much cult-like thinking.
it's the same framing device as if I referred to "People who have turned their back on Jesus" instead of "atheists".
I got out because it turned into exactly a religion. There was no room for questioning the technology or considerations about whether this was really as useful as we thought it would be.
