Christians' devotion to saints was very much like
a. The Bantu people's devotion to the creator god
b. Buddhists' devotion to Bodhisattvas
c. Muslims' devotion to Mecca
d. The Jews' devotion to the Torah
It could be argued that Christians' devotion to saints was very much like "b. Buddhists' devotion to Bodhisattvas," since these were both groups of people to "aspire to".
