This is so accurate. Like priests, business types possess a specialist knowledge that misrepresents an entirely made up complexity as arcane truth that the plebs could never understand.
Like priests, their real job is social control in service of the powerful. The early mesopotamian temples have some of the earliest examples of accounting because they were largely for craft production and resource storage and management.
And just like every delusional ceo, they claim responsibility for anything good that happens and blame others for anything bad.
Priests are just cthulhu cultists in modernity, preaching the end of the world so that you give up now and those in power stay in power. It's why a pious life does not lead to priesthood, only a college degree.
So few understand god that they don't even understand the sciences that formulate their beliefs. Of all creeds.

Weird... it is for me now too, but I watched it right after I posted that comment
The priests I was thinking of take ayahuasca and communicate to spirits while in a fursuit.
Sounds like a chill weekend tbh
