Yet again it is demonstrated that monotheistic religion is a plagiarism of a plagiarism of a hearsay of a hearsay, of an illusion of an illusion, extending all the way back to a fabrication of a few non-events.[245]

Droge argues that religions need not have an ‘originating moment’ and that the historical movement of Luddism “was not generated by the dramatic actions of any one individual”, but by the creation and appropriation of a name, a figure, an eponym: in this case, the “perhaps apocryphal” (i.e. non-existing) Ned Ludd. Droge explores the varying groups (by geographical region and by labour sector) of the technophobic Luddites, who each sought to adapt the figure of Ned Ludd to suit their needs. Sound familiar? Droge speculates if such “polygenesis” (many origins) could also apply to the origins of Christianity.
