Notes:

I thought the Russian Gadget Cult was just a joke, but no, I checked and it’s very, very real.

It even has three different sects:

Traditional Gadgetology consists of prayers and righteous deeds for the good of the Goddess.

Progressive Gadgetology is aimed at moral growth, as well as perfection of deeds and thoughts not only within the church but also in real life. This branch took as a basis the principles of Gadget’s friends from the animated series: help your neighbors, fight against evil, and grow above yourself. Because only the purged soul can feel the union with the Goddess.

Apocalyptic Gadgetology includes faith in prophecy and revelation. Followers of this current believe in the end of the world and salvation at the behest of the Lightbringer.

Still much more wholesome and sane than Shirleyism though.
