Seems some people have had enough of praying to their God and getting no return, over 5,000 have now petitioned their god to bring back David Bowie

Why not roots? It will do as much good as praying to any god.

I thought Facebook 'likes' were the new prayers.

I'd guess this has nothing to do with faith but more to do with grief. Grief apparently is quite complex. Online may be a new way of expressing it.

I think the phrase is 'griefwhoring'.

Could be but never heard of the phrase, sounds like something you'd find on the front page of the DM. Mass hysteria more like.
