Is Pop Culture a New Religion?

Earlier this week, Lady Gaga tweeted that pop culture is our religion. This lead me to thinking about what she said and she really isn’t far from the truth. In today’s society we worship celebrities. We are addicted to media and technology and get our information from shows such as E! News and TMZ. We integrate pop culture and the media into our daily lives. In today’s world where we spend more time following all the details of a royal wedding than what is happening in the news, Lady Gaga may be right. We have lost traditional religion for one of pop culture.
