Lies of Leaders and "Their" religion

Nothing "good" has come from the atomic bomb, the effects of the bomb killed many lives. Everyone was emotionally hurt, "When Bokonon and McCabe took over this miserable country years ago, "said Julian Castle, "they threw out the priest. And then Bokonon, cynically and playfully, invented a new religion." Well, when it became evident that no governmental or economical reform was going to make the people much less miserable, the religion became the one real instrument of hope. Truth was the enemy of the people, because the truth was terrible, so Bokonon made it his business to provide the people with better and better lies." ( In chapter 78 of Cats Cradle pg.118) These two people came up with a religion, this is not an ordinary religion, this one is completely made up, unlike Christianity or Buddhism. In this sense science cannot go against religion because Bokononism is fake and is not real. In this Chapter Newt (one of the people that has ice-nine) mentions cats cradle several times, Johnah was wondering about the book about Bokononist and Newt stats "Religion See the cat? See the cradle?" The reference of the book brings it back to the following post that there is no cat nor cradle, it is made up for people's entertainment. This might mean in the future that people will do anything to acquire power and be known. This to answers the question what it means to be human, humans in general thrive to be known and people will accept anything to be happy, the people of San Lorenzo knew that lies were being told but they rather be ignorant than miserable with their lives.
