>>93429720 Exactly. Apart from being a well-worn out trope (that also makes no sense considering the universe he lives in), it's just another step in making Tony more marketable. He's got no spiritual beliefs, he's not right-leaning, how he keeps his company afloat is never explored so they're not making any reference to his capitalistic side, and all of his characterization has been swept under the rug.
So essentialy they're left with a hip n'cool "2cool4spiritualism" quippy mess that's the general "scienzxetist". It's pathetic, really.
