Burning Man's 2017 theme, announced by Larry Harvey, indicates the festival is becoming more like a religion — Quartz: "Burning Man, the Nevada desert festival that draws some 60,000 revelers every year, is an annual pilgrimage that resembles religious ritual: It requires travel to a far-off place in the desert, 10 guiding social laws intended to catalyze self-actualization, and the burning of an effigy."
