They’re an elite group of the divine with gods and “saviors” like Rihanna‚ Kanye West‚ Kendall Jenner‚ Cristiano Ronaldo‚ Tyler Oakley‚ and more. Although worship of kings and war heroes has existed for centuries‚ it has undergone a massive revolution through internet‚ media‚ and a further connected world.
