I'm a recovering Catholic and the only issue i have with your statement is the connection to Apple...
Had you thought it out you would have come up with a different Religious connection for sure...
I don't know. It seems like each statement was correct.
"think they are better than everyone else"
Arguably, this applies to any christian sect. That is to say, I've had far too many religious people "feel sorry for me"; and yet I could easily say the same thing to them and for the same reasons they would give me. Arguably this isn't exclusive to any particular religion; With catholicism when you have the Pope telling Atheists they can get into heaven it's sort of like if he told them they could get presents from Santa Claus, and seems to center around a "self-important" idea. That isn't to say that is unexpected, since all sects share it. Whether it's a bad thing is another question altogether, I suppose.
ostentatious
It's hard to argue that Catholicism doesn't have a lot of ceremony and fancy stuff. The Pope's Dress and jewel-encrusted hat; Vatican City itself; transmogrification, confirmation, etc. That isn't me trying to say whether it's bad or good but it's certainly present in a greater degree than most other sects.
given to veneration of symbols and regalia
Crosses, statues, stained glass symbolisms and various other things are actually quite common within. I've heard it mused that Catholicism almost makes Christianity Polytheistic through things such as Sainthood.
of course this is no place for this discussion. I think we can agree that the fervor that some people hold to certain brands is very much the same as some might have for religious ideals.
Thankfully we don't have Linux users suicide bombing Microsoft Campuses or Apple jihadists building shrines to the ascended Steve Jobs.
Yet....
