That analogy doesn't work for me. If anything, we'd have to look at every individual human as a system to be "booted" with the same OS. So they have a common API. But that's not an area where you'd want to use technical metaphors. I think what you're trying to say is that we've got better tools than religion now. My approach here is to broaden the meaning of religion. As I said before every society needs common beliefs to function. I refer to those beliefs as religion. But I can accept if this is too broad for some people.
