Is Lisp a tool or a religion?

  It's a building material.

  This article actually introduced me to a useful phrase that doesn't seem to be used much according to my cursory Google search: "Tool worshipers" [though he misspelled it]. I think Tool Worship is an appropriately ridiculous phrase for when people become overly fanatical about supporting some language, operating system, text editor, screwdriver head etc. over others to the point of becoming derogatory toward those who hold different opinions.
