This society is based on the idea that you live
your life without thinking.  It says that people should keep themselves entertained at
all times by watching the parlour walls or by going to amusement parks or things like

Religion is something that really requires people to
be still and contemplative at times.  You cannot have religious experiences with the
White Clown yelling at you.  So I do not think that this society can really have much of
a real religion.
