It is religion. You're basically arguing over which version of Christianity would Jesus be more impressed with if he came back from the dead. Just because somebody invents Calvinism after Roman Catholicism, it doesn't mean its a better religion. It certainly doesn't mean its going to be more popular or widely practiced.

Who cares what is closer to "Satoshi's system", besides people trying to pump one of bitcoin's imitators? You don't know what Satoshi is thinking, unless you still actually believe that he is CSW. Plenty of religions have started by their founder claiming to be the new messiah as well.
