 from fastcompany article:

    "The brand name logo on a laptop or a shirt pocket may do the same
    thing for some people that a pendant of a crucifix or Star of David does
    for others." In fact, the more religious a person is, the less brand
    expression appears to matter.
    Researchers at Duke ran several experiments to determine this
    disconnection between brand importance and religiosity. In one, the team
    analyzed geographic areas for the number of Apple, Macy's, and Gap
    stores per million people. These statistics were compared with brand-
    discount stores. "Then they compared these rough measures of brand
    reliance against the number of congregations per thousand and self-
    reported attendance in church or synagogue, controlling for income,
    education and urbanization differences," the report says. "In every
    analysis, they found a negative relationship between brand reliance and
    religiosity."

Duke Study Finds the Religious Are Less
Brand Reliant
Commentary - Nathan Bell
    
    If you have seen the videos I have made on the Leaked Ad Training
    Document


    You will know that the ad agencies think that "They regulate the
    American production - consumption cycle". Much of this regulation
    is to ever increase consumption. A minimum amount of 3% increase,
    on average, yearly is needed to sustain our economic system. Below
    3% for long, you have a stagnant economy. -2% and you have a
    depression.

    If at any point we decide to spend less money than we did the year
    before, we are all toast! We are collectively held hostage to a
    system of ever growing materialism. I don't think there is much of a
    difference between the mainstream corporate church goer and a
    non-church going consumer. The corporate churches have already
    rectified  this through the Health & Wealth "Prosperity" doctrine.
    It's a nice magic trick: You can believe in Jesus, without listening to
    what he spoke. They have sold-out and created alternative products
    for you to buy, minus the naughty words.

    The people that are responsible for spending less on brand name items
     In this study are probably people who have actually picked up their
     bible and found out that it says Materialism and Idolatry are,
     at least according to the Bible, not that good for us.
     Corporations often remind me of religious institutions; demanding
     loyalty, obeying the hierarchy leaders, the stores are their temples.
     They  even give us little trinkets for our sacrifice. They offer us
     both freedom and security, maybe the corporation is our new god.
     If I go by the symbolism, look at the logo for the company featured in the
     study, It's the Forbidden Fruit. Do you know who our new God is?
