:bulletred::pointr:Christianity is Linux
Many different variations. Some distros have little if nothing in common, and there are three main distros in circulation at the moment. Derived from Unix. A fast way of getting things done, but prone to rogue distros. Some take pain and effort to install via a text-based installation, others require no effort to get up and running.

:bulletred::pointr:Judaism is Unix
Often advocates of Unix can be seen with large beards. They can be hard to understand, and may sometimes appear eccentric, but they get the job done. Hard to master, which is why Unix gurus are few and far between in the modern world. Users of Unix have dwindled in number since Linux was introduced.

:bulletred::pointr:Islam is OSX
Seems fundamentally different from the other two but is quite similar. Shares some elements from Unix and Linux. Source code is strictly proprietary, i.e. it\'s not open source. Users of OSX argue you have to experience it for yourself. Expensive to run, nobody can truly master it.

:bulletred::pointr:Atheism is Windows XP
Cold and unfeeling. Simple to use but some argue power has been removed from the hands of the user. Accused of monopolistic tendencies but actually a fairly good OS. Is buggy and will give the occasional BSOD, but that\'s to be expected. The default OS on most computers as it takes effort to load others.
A little comparison of the world's major (not neccesarily by number) faiths to the computing world.

It was all meant in fun, don't note me calling me "unsaved" or something equally retarded.

You've got the wrong idea altogether.

Atheism = UNIX; Because any important system/leader, any server linking other machines together uses Unix even if the other ones don't. Most people don't realize this and assume them to use the same operating systems as the ones they're linked to. Also similar to DOS, in that the ignorant and hasty have difficulty using it, but it allows much greater freedom once you realize how the system really works.

Catholicism = Windows XP; Slow, buggy, replaces efficiency of previous operating systems with additional lines of code/ritual that slow down anything the user does without allowing any concrete advantage.

Modern Paganism = Crappy distros of Linux. Essentially made new out of thin air, although loosely based on older operating systems. Easy to get ahold of, but incompatible with software from any of the other systems. Most popular among younger users who can't afford pay-to-use systems but want to rebel against the "tyranny" of Windows.

Don't know enough about OSX to argue, but it's sound like you've got it right on Islam. :)
