How could we get some kind of cult or new religious movement which worships Electricity and/or Electronic technology. (e.g. lightning is divine, tesla coil on the altar, being shocked by a leyden jar as a kind of sacrament, electric poles and tv antennas as sacred objects, priests dressed as electricians waving around a voltmeter and a solderer etc.)
Possibilities in my opinion:
1. A spin-off from the Enlightenment in America in the late 18th century, built around the personality of Ben Franklin
2. Developing in the 19th century from Victorian Spiritism
3. Developing in the USSR under Lenin, who placed a great philosophical emphasis on electrification
4. Developing in the mid 20th century from a Pacific cargo cult
5. Spinning off in modern Russia from the cult of Gadget Hackwrench
6. Spinning off from Kopimism in modern Sweden
