Not enough worshipers inside? Makes it closer to a shrine.

It's actually a factory, though, for making shit.

Water, mostly.

Pssh. I'm more cultured than a library. Y'know, because I'm culturing millions of bacteria all over the place.

I'm a right ecology sailing off into the Fell and Terrible Radiation Zone outside my door to drink water that other cultures were farting in.

Like all matter, it's mostly empty space.

There's like 30-40 trillion microbiome critters inside any particular human, you could probably default assume them as worshippers... religions definitely don't mind lumping in regionally adjacent nonbelievers if they attend church.

I think the real reason it's not a temple is the other temples would start getting real jealous of our attendance numbers. 24/7 devotion by a population roughly 19-20 thousand times the number of folks that only intermittently or not at all attend the largest religon's services? It's an overwhelming difference!

What if we find a body and open it up to find out what's actually inside?

The last time someone did that to me, I lost my appendix.

Which is maybe why I now have to rely on footnotes[1]. Although I do at least still have my index fingers[2].

[1] e.g.

[2] If you don't mind me making these couple of points.
