Shows that I've Been Cataloging For Too Long

I just started wondering what the Burned Over District and Israel/the Middle East had in common that made them both the origin points for so many religions.

And then it turned into a futuristic daydream (or maybe a distopian one?) about a bunch of future major world religions all claiming upstate New York as their holy land, etc... And then I laughed- it just seems so improbable. But then, I've never been to Israel, so I oughtn't talk.

My thought was more that it would be an additional center of holiness (whatever that qualifies as), rather than a substitute. Either that or in some post-cataclysmic future where the entire middle east has sunk under the dunes, or whatever.
