I learned the other day that Christianity is atleast 6 centuries older than Islam. So I know you can start new ones. Like L Ron Hubbard and scientology. Is the trick just getting enough people to listen to me ? Like I can start an online religion? And I stay anonymous? Then they buy me mansion and treat me like a king and spread my word? Is that kinda how it starts?

I worship the wolf god Fenrir if you want to join my religion I will give you a mansion and treat you like a king but first you have to send me some CASH

5 bucks enough?

Charisma & a message

You need tree fiddy

Yes 5 dead deer are good enough for a wolf God like Fenrir.

Your in!

Alright, I'll throw in a couple pheasants for good fortune.

Write a book of stories and pretend they really happened.

the last 'religion i know of was founded in 2005. all you really need is a gimmick and gullible people who believe acting the silliest makes themselves look the smartest.

or perhaps open a 'atheist church? seems the 'non believers are a wealth of opportunity for schemers n dreamers?

Historically, the size of a group determined if a cult had progressed to a religion or not. So all religions were born of cults. I think it was only in recent years that language changed and now anything can be a religion. so you can have your very own religion if you want. so to answer your question = yes.
