A modern person who knows about Attainder: a nasty little law that was extensively used during the Deformation to steal land from people who disagreed with the ruling elite. So your calling of the similarity is striking - as is the observation that the alleged crimes of the company are unprovable religious dogmata.
There's nothing religious or obsolete about attainder where US law is concerned. The "Elizabeth Morgan Act" was struck down on that basis in the early 2000's and the Holman Rule is an example (re)activated only this year.
