I wonder if religious people support patents more than non religious,
primarily because patents are a weapon of the elite to further their

Let's avoid this kind of sweeping statement.
Basically, I think that software patents are an interface and the US
software patent system is a buggy implementation. One thing I have
noticed about buggy implementations is that they usually don't
invalidate the soundness of the interface they implement.
I don't know whether I want to get through the whole thread ;-) but
Cedric's point pretty much resumes my point. In other words, software
patents as they are today are a disaster; but they need a reform, not to
be eradicated.
