I consider a lot of the arguments that come out of modern hype movements to be based on near supernatural reaches of selective logic and rationalization.

People become zealous about many things. What differentiates religion is the explicit invocation of supernatural causes. That delineation is meaningful, to the person making the claim as well as in society's treatment of the claim. (Particularly in the United States, where the Constitution treats religious zeal differently from secular zeal.)
