Like I don't mean this in a "you need Jesus" way but I legit am starting to think some people have replaced worship - whether that's in a church way or paganism or just being really into nature or whatever - with books and reading.

Compare how you react when told someone doesn't like reading to the way some Christian people react when someone says they're an athiest.
They shouldn't be similiar.

Books are not sacred holy objects. Reading is not an inherantly moral and righteous activity.
You do you, but maybe you should like. Chill. A bit.

Also like maybe watch out for cults.
...this sounds snarky but I actually mean it. Being taken in by a cult is way, way easier than you'd think. And people who think "I'm too smart for that" are actually the most vulnerable from what I've heard
If you're a big reader, there's a decent chance you consider yourself a fairly intellectual person. If you also are looking for some kind of "high power" or "meaning of life" situation (aka readings as worship) because you don't have an outlet for that... cult vulnerability.
(I like how I make a typo in this tweet.)
So, you know. Just be careful and think critically about things so you don't end up in a MLM cult or something.
