It is real because we all believe it. The video game is a good example, we can shut it down and all your items are gone. Same with economy.

It's real because we practice it. If we stopped commerce that doesn't disprove the existence of the economy, it just ends one existing economy.

If we all stopped talking it wouldn't prove the spoke word is a myth.

To come back to the meme: it implies that while the sun is real, the Christianity isn't. But it is as long as it's practiced, same with economy

It doesn't imply that Christianity isn't real, but rather it's the focus of their worship that doesn't exist.
