no, not religion, mechanical activation of our reward system for a given amount of effort. to be rewarding implies you find some good into it, so you will rinse and repeat, whatever it is. some people likes sado maschism and explore this activity. others ask themselves about stars. you hardly get to choose about your tastes, you can only explore them as long as your reward system works. different people, different ability to explore the same topic, or, be attracted to it to begin with.
