To be fair, screens are a better opiate for the masses than religion ever could aspire to.

Half my work uses a screen, and in the cold winter months so does most of my recreation. I can't honestly argue that I probably wouldn't be doing something better with my time if I didn't have my TV, games, and internet.

Add in the habit-inducing design of so many apps and websites these days and I'd argue excessive screen time is a really valid concern for people these days.
