The neo-con religion focuses most on the purpose of the universe - it is to increase the power and influence of a certain class of people. The nature of the universe is that it is malleable and all component parts are interchangable. The only value is profit value to the aforementioned class.
A couple supernatural entities in Neoconism:
1)
corporations as persons - the neo cons have extended the rights of corporations to be on par with individuals and will speak of the rights of corporations.
2) third world people's debts. One great read is Confessions of an Economic Hit Man, written by a man who worked for years in the hazy corporate NSA limnal region, creating third world debts. The method was to convince dictators and other leaders to allow foreign, generally US companies to build projects that probably would not benefit most of the people in these countries. The leaders were encouraged - via vast increases in their own wealth - or threatened to take huge loans. The loans were taken. The projects were built. Then when the countries could not pay back the loans, outside organizations were able to control these countries, were they democratic or not. The delusion is that the poor in these countries somehow lost their rights to services and resources and control of their countries because owe certain organizations money. This debt is a delusional entity created not simply in bad faith, but with the intent to give foreign, neo con control of these nations.
Adherents of neo-conism do not see people outside their circles as fully human. Thus they are free to treat them in ways they themselves would consider immoral if they were on the receiving end. This belief is not supported by current science on the nature of homo sapians.
Rituals include:
The highly bizarre, cathartic floor of the stock exchange where the life work of one country's farmers can be destroyed by several minutes of chanting magical numbers.
Lobbying - priests from individual 'churches' or groups of churches in the panoply of corporations control governments in quid pro quo - note the use of Latin showing ties to Catholicism - arrangements that undermine democracy while the lobbyists and their churches extol the virtues of democracy.
This is precisely the kind of religious paradox that when contemplated can - not unlike the Zen Koan - bring adherents into states of ecstacy - like Nevada.
Apart from nod to Latin the religious language of neoconism combines business speak, orwellian speech and good old BS all dispensed by the best psychologists, lawyers, pr reps and companies that money can buy.
Religious clothing is for males the three piece suit, with the mildly self-flagellant and functionally useless TIE.
In recent years women have been allowed into the priesthood and there is some confusion about what attire is most appropriate.
There is much talk of the importance separation of Church and State, but the neo-cons have managed to keep their church out of these discussions, primarily by the purchase of representatives and PR.
Visions of the future utopia include:
immortality via uploading of complete brainscans
transhumanism with various mergers of machines and bodies
superhumanism via genetic modification
complete reshaping of Gaia
cross galaxy pilgrimmages via space ship or perhaps teleportation
a smiling, happy populace completely free to choose between competing brands when not working desperately to feed their families or begging.
