The parallels are extensive, to say the least. If you were to take any paragraph somebody's written about what they feel for their waifu and replace any specific mention of the waifu with the word God, and you get a devout christian. I'm not religious myself, but if this kind of feeling is what one gets for it, I could see why people are. The love for one's waifu is best described by the word agape, meaning the love one feels for a God.I get what you mean, there definitely are parallels, but I'm not sure as if I would call it a religion itself, if anything perhaps an ideology, a way of thinking to better yourself. After I knew Rarity, not that I changed who I was, but I did try to genuinely better myself in a way she'd enjoy, or model herself after her generous spirit.
I notice this in your post, too.
I think also what I admire about this kind of stuff is how it affects and helps people in differemt ways, and even two people who love tbe same charavter van get completely different feelings from it.
