This very much reminds me of the "Children of the Atom" in the Fallout games, who love to worship nuclear installations and the atomic "glow". Their language is not unlike the language found in the article such as a miraculous healing through being "hit by an electric current". Makes me wonder if the Fallout designers based the Children of the Atom on this.
