The Logo has replaced the religious icon, or protective magic charm, says Neocon IT consultants from Silicon Valley. “We discovered that people no longer believe in their religions, citing they are outdated, and have no software equivalent or high-end hardware assigned to them,” says one janitor working for Intel, on his lunch break. “Our Logo has replaced the need for any other medallion, or secondary relic; that is, an ordinary relic that has been touched by a holy relic.”
His boss quipped shortly, “He's partially right, but what do you expect from a GED-equivalent colleague? What's really happening here is we are redefining meaning, that old meanings attached to these outdated religions can no longer exist in a world of bar codes. If we can't scan it, it means nothing. Our new chip set will prove that, and eviscerate any Jihad that gets in our way.” Those who cannot afford these treasured icons on electronic relics have taken to purchasing secondary relics on the black market.

This reminds me of Beneath The Planet of the Apes, where disfigured mutants worship an Atom Bomb. Branding is everything!
