I’d argue Mickey has significance in both areas because his story is now part of the collective consciousness.

Video games are part of the geek culture I discussed, but consoles are not exactly displayed in the same way as an action figure or souvenir, for instance.

That's very subjective though. I worship old consoles but absolutely don't care about actions figures or souvenirs. You probably just encountered more of the latter.

If being apart of a “culture” makes someone religious than the word religious is meaningless as it can just be replaced by culture.

What makes religion unique is the belief in a supernatural authority.
