I agree with this, but I wouldn’t call it a “god shaped hole” any more than I’d call it an “oilers shaped hole”.

  I would, because the thing that used to primarily fill this hole was religion, and thats the hole people are trying to stuff. I'm not religious btw, this is just what I see.

    > the thing that used to primarily fill this hole was religion, and thats the hole people are trying to stuff Calling it "a hole" even, is stretching the metaphor too far. People have needs, and religion has often been used to fill that need, as has nationalism, and occupations, and any other thing. But there isn't a single "hole", and that hole doesn't have a "shape". There's just people who have needs, and ways people have tried to fulfill those needs.
