I think the word "church" is being used for lack of a better word.

I'm seeing the concept of protecting ourselves from government oppression to be extremely valid.

Sadly the word church has already been co-opted to some extent by corporate/government controled religions.

The other perhaps more positive perspective is how the "church of bitcoin" is indeed the church of liberty/humanity and respect for life as a whole.

Not exactly new as the roots go back to ancient religion like Shintoism and "the way of the Kami".

Not a stretch of imagination that this is what Satoshi could've been thinking about.
