Now imagine a religion whose sole tenant is that the number two is the holiest number ever. Now imagine a religion whose sole tenant is that the number three is the holiest number ever. Repeat (literally) _ad infinitum_. > > (And if you retort that a sole tenant does not a religion make, then take Christianity and envision variants where the word “Trinity” has been replaced by the word “Unity,” and the word “Duality,” and the word “Quartality,” and keep going with made up pseudo-Latin words, and you’ve got infinite religions.) Tenet. Tenet, tenet, tenet, tenet. \*\*Tenet. \*\* Otherwise, that clears it up pretty well! ---
