I was thinking about how reverence could be seen as the proper frame for the religion that is not a religion, as opposed to devotion in traditional style society. It seems intuitive to me that devotion is when we cross a line towards traditional religion
as opposed to a meta modern religion that is not a religion. The relationship is different, but the quality remains. I think cults tend to contain devotion without a heart of reverence, and that this points towards some lack of ontological quality there that
makes this form inherently dangerous.
