as far as i am concerned... being a live witness of the event and escaping from it barely, i would think that the event is nothing but just a landmark in history that has changed the perception of the US citizens about themselves. from that adamant 'what can go wrong?' attitude to suspecting own shadows and being edgy about everything. 9/11 is a slap on the wrist for all the wrong doings of our government that was elected by us and its administration.. and its policies. however we try to deny that we have nothing to do with all the happenings in Afghanistan or Middle east, the events were actually triggered by our ever arrogant and ignorant CIA. sadly from learning from the event and saving our noses, we have dived further into the mess with that of Iraq and we are again ready for warmongering with Iran... Please.. could someone tell George Bush to f*** off from the middle east and leave us alone in peace so that the terrorists could let us live in peace..!! to think of it.. I think George Bush had caused more damaged to humanity with his actions compared to Osama..!!

I assume you're getting at a whole mythology emerging from the 9/11 event, with all the requisite elements: the heroes, the forces of good, the tragedies, the suffering and triumphant victims, the forces of evil, etc. I would say no (but read on) - that the mythology/religion was already there; e.g. people like Karl Rove leverage this to make their guy (e.g. Bush) fit as a representative figure of an existing thought system / mythology: one that presents Bush as the icon of nationalism, religious morality, religious principle, etc. opposed to the 'forces of evil' represented by liberals, intellectuals, 'activist judges', etc.. However, 9/11 was definitely the force that brought this existing mythology to new heights; neoconservatives used it to get support for the PNAC plan ('stabilize the middle east by actively creating democracies') by leveraging these elements.

9/11 is not a religion. It is an event.

Worshipping what? Nothing was left after 9/11 to worship?

not a religion. People have a tendency to remember because this attack was cowardly and took place on United States soil. because of where the United States is located we are fairly well isolated from where the main fighting is. when we are attacked on our own soil this is an outrage which the people never forgive.

9/11 has become George Bush's biggest single accomplishment throughout his presidency. And that's all that this buffoon can claim prominence on.

The religion of the stupid, where you offer up your civil liberties to the God of safety. All in the name of big oil profits.

Not a religion rather our national epic.
