So, basically it's OK if someone works for attention and status when that status is obtained via a car, but not when that status is a cult? I see them as the same.

I think it is neither OK nor not OK. It is basically an evolutionary argument -- it tries to figure out what is going on, but doesn't tell you what you *should* do. This was probably the most important misconception which didn't let Sociobiology (the Evolutionary Psychology of the 60s) get off the ground. A naturalist fallacy which made Sociobiology look "normative", a lot like Social Darwinism.
