How do you mean, "the parallel"?
As far as I see it, religion looks at the world, and says there has to to be
a "god". They then spend their lives looking forward to the time when they
die, so they they can move onto a higher plane. Virtuality says that the
world isn't real, and that when you "die" you move back to the real world.
Is this the kind of parallel you were refering to?
