Isn't the problem though that this doesn't work without a fiction that we all believe to be non-fiction? You need to create a fiction that is believed in more than any individual differences but it doesn't work if we know it is fiction. The group will not be able to put aside differences for very long without it. There is very clever aspect to what the church has done that is very hard to replicate. I really think team sports are the closest you can get. This guy putting the ball over the goal line is the most important thing in the world and you can gel 90,000 drunk people to watch it without it becoming complete chaos. It is the same process at work.
