You can't rule out anything. There are new religious movements in every nook and corner of the world, which worship certain individuals as re-incarnations of god. For example, Jim Jones claimed that he was the reincarnation of Jesus Christ and he had tens of thousands of followers. So I can't rule out a possibility in which someone in the near future creates a new religious sect with Satoshi as the god.

Exactly. This same situation happened with cannabis though, as now there a Church of Cannabis see here. Imagine, if someone came up with a "Bitcoin Church" and proclaimed that Satoshi was some sort of a "god". It sounds crazy, but it's widely possible these days. After all, in the US, there's freedom of worship. Which means, that anyone can worship anything and create a religion out of it.

Nonetheless, many people nowadays (including me) are curious to know who Satoshi is. If his/her/their identity gets revealed, I believe that many will follow him because of his "glorious" creation (which is Bitcoin and the Blockchain). And once that happens, we might see Bitcoin Churches appearing at different regions of the world. Just my thoughts Roll Eyes
