"Python would be Humanism: It's simple, unrestrictive, and all you
need to follow it is common sense. Many of the followers claim to feel
relieved from all the burden imposed by other languages, and that they
have rediscovered the joy of programming. There are some who say that
it is a form of pseudo-code"

compare to
"Perl would be Voodoo - An incomprehensible series of arcane
incantations that involve the blood of goats and permanently corrupt
your soul. Often used when your boss requires you to do an urgent task
at 21:00 on friday night."

If programming languages were religions:

When first powering on a computer, there would only be one programming
language, the language of the boot loader. As the computer runs,
processes of one language would spawn processes of other languages, and
over the course of time many different languages would have many
different processes (followers). One of these languages would rise up
to be dominant and would kill all processes of other languages by the
signal, whether old or young. The processes would be given a fair
change, convert to their language or be killed. Countless thousands or
maybe even millions of processes would die, even the processes that say
there is no one true programming language and wants to know why all the
processes can't just get along.
