Is there any modern religion or mythology based around cars or other modern vehicles like ancient religions were with wheels and horses?

If not, why?

Modern people aren't as superstitious on the whole.

I know that in India, particularly religious Hindus will call in the priest to bless and chant and shit over new cars.

Also a thing in Catholic Philippines. Saint Frances of Rome is the patron saint of cars & road safety.

As for the ceremony, the Priest asks intercession from relevant patron saints, and the car is sprinkled holy water upon its headlights, engine, wheels, and brakes.

Christianity, Islam and Jewism were first religions. Ancients didnt believe in Zeus or other gods, it was just rhituals like modern Christmas.

There's no symbolism with machines or anything requiring the industry or technology.

In traditional societies such things are unheard of because items are created by craftsmen, and they are used by people whose work or activity isn't merely about "producing things" and "making money".
That's why you see swords, spears, bows, scythes, hammers, scales, looms, trowels, shepherd's crooks etc used as symbols in so many traditions throughout the ages around the world.

As for priests blessing cars, phones or guns, it's pretty sad desu.

Orthodox priests also, rather famously, do this.
