Economics is the control system which filled the void in society vacated by religion after the enlightenment.

An arbitrary set of rules, conjured by the ruling class, obfuscated and protected from scrutiny, and imposed on the weary masses.

Finance, an arbitrary subset of mathematics, serves as its mythology.

Banks and financial institutions serve as its churches and cathedrals.

Economists serve as its priests.

God replaced by GDP.

There's a really great art installation by Mark Boulos that I saw years ago on this. All That is Solid Melts into Air

I can't find the full thing but it juxtaposes the Chicago stock exchange with a group of rebels in Nigeria fighting the oil companies there.

Most Gods are very similar to mathematical computers. The Sun could be a God in that it encodes fractals and emits energy (or data).

Ponder your Orbs and become a wizard.
