In my experience, many programmers trained in a specific lanaguge or framework, tend to become attached to it over time to the point of becoming zealous about its benefits. If you define religion as being overzealous, then it not just Ruby/ROR, but C++, .Net, PHP, Perl and most other languages. Most find it difficult to be agnostic about their choice of the language/framework they select and use regularly. Just my 2 cents :)
