I would call celebrity worship a new form of religious culture, fans may not even know the fallen celebrit[ies], yet they draw quite a bit of meaning from them." - Gary Laderman, a professor of religion at Emory University

About This Quote

As humans, it is our nature to gather around people that are special. We want to be part of the crowd that gets to see them, hear them, and enjoy their company. This is why celebrities are so important, they are able to provide us with a glimpse into the lives of the people we admire. They give us an opportunity to be in their presence or even get close enough to touch them.

The way they live their lives are things we are not allowed to do in public. We can’t take selfies with them, can’t travel to where they live, and can’t go out dancing with them. Yet, we still want to be just like them.
