The key point about BTC is money and the 'believers' area all holding at least some BTC and they promote it with zealotry for that reason.
It's the money and the dream of fabulous riches. Religion generally doesn't really go there in any serious way.
It's a really, really good example of bias, and how it works. Someone holds a few magic numbers and it really distorts their worldview.
Religion would be far more popular of people thought they could get rich by attending service.
