How do I start my own Religion? Where do I start? Any books about how to do so? Any books I could benefit from religious reading?

I'm not exactly sure what you mean, do you want to start your own religion, or do you want to... find your own path? You kind of come off as one of those crazy koolaid guys that makes all his followers drink koolaid.

Well if you want your own religion you don't need any books. You just need to know how to con people.
If you want to just have your own path, then make up whatever and follow it.

I'm pretty sure there are books dealing with the subject of making your own path-you might get ideas that way.

Look into the interviews of Ramana Maharshi or the writings of Mahatma Gandhi. Both are great starters for true religion. But yeah Ramana Maharshi is the bomb. He was truly enlightened and practiced what he preached.

People of all walks of life would come and see him for his grace and wisdom whether it was christians, muslims, hindus or buddhists. He was a true spritual master.

Try doing another Heaven's gate trip. That one attracted a lot of "intelligent" people with money too. All you need is some charisma and play on the UFO stuff because it kind of blends the whole sci-fi thing with spirituality, so you can get the best of both worlds. But come up with something more creative than the nut jobs who did the Phenabarbital flip.

Depends on what you are trying to start. If your trying to start your own sect or denomination of a pre-existing religion then basicly just state what you believe to the public and when you have a group of set followers then there you go. If your trying to form your own religion in whole then I suggest you either think up a new god or new spiritual way that would apease the masses or mix up some special kool-aide and pass it out to as many confused teenagers you can find. There's a very fine line between forming a religion or a cult. Mainly it depends on if you are doing this for your own self and your desires in life or if you really feel you have a message to spread. Either or, there's plenty of people in the mindless masses that will take up a new religion or join a cult simply to be part of something or for a free cookie and a cup of Kool-Aide. Just dont tell them whats in it if you put something in it. Don't want any lawsuites.

This is a cool concise summary of religion and what it is used for:

In nature there is fundamental unity running through all the diversity we wee about us. Religions are given to mankind so as to accelerate the process of realisation of fundamental unity. ---Mahatma Gandhi.

How to create your own religion in 10 easy steps Have fun. Just remember, if you want to spread the word , "Cafepress.com" has all sorts of options for that. Teeshirts, stickers, etc... Prophet, profit!

Try writing some science-fiction novels, and progress from there... ; )

What sort of religion, what ideas you got then?

I say go ahead with your own religion. thats how the other bogus ones started, by making a story that people will believe so it turns into a cult like christianity

Firstly you must have a good choice of username.
If you use that name for a religion you might attract unwanted members.

Then learn how to heal people because that's the easiest way to attract millions of followers.

It's all now depends on you how will you spend the money.

Who is your God?

I really don't think we need any more religions, there's enough out there already.
