Interesting, my take was always diametrically opposite, that if it has any meaning at all it's the allegory for getting converted to a collectivist religion or an ideology.

Zombies are not really selfish - I mean, if you were chasing one human in a horde and you were selfish, wouldn't you, for example, try to eliminate or exclude the competition? They are, rather, single-minded to the exclusion of any priorities other than one.

What's the difference between a religion and a corporation that someone devotes their life to? Other than scale.

Very few people really devote their life to a corporation, at least as far as I can tell. It's either just a job to pay the bills (for most people), or an exciting project that you easily switch from when it suits you (if you are in tech or other such job).

To be fair, relatively few people really devote their life to religion or ideology, too, although I'd argue the average level of devotion is higher and lasts longer :)
