Our weirdest religion is Monetization. Nothing beats it. Not snake handling, not wine into blood...
... Nothing.
Trusting God or the Emperor or the Party to turn debt, numbers, bits of paper, metal, stones, etc. into some magical substance called money? That is freaking bizarre, a cruel religion and a leap of faith beyond all reason.
