For production the owning class is the most important, without human labor the production process is not possible. Exchange value: how much money you pay. Use value: depends on the amount of labor spent to produce the object, to make it useable it needs labor. When we think about production we need to think about who produced our commodities. No tags saying who specifically made it in the factory with clothes. Religion is based on belief in the power of supernatural beings. Hyperreal religions are based on beliefs in popular cultural, hyperreal images or science fictions to support subjective myths and identification of the believer. Adam possamai (2005), an australian sociologist, coined the term hyperreligion. Hyperreal religions are a remix of popular culture elements with some religious traditions.
