Brainwash a bunch of young 20s-mid 30s online men.

Start with basic memes and eventually you can own them.

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?


Write a book full of tales and find people who believe what you wrote really happened. If enough people believe it, your cult will be legally upgraded to a religion. Done.

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.


Christianity began as a cult of Jesus

In order to ascend to a religion, generally some criteria must be met, namely a comprehensive and self-consistent worldview & proper conduct, creation & foundation myth, & afterlife. And of course an unchanging scripture

Christianity's nascent period was mostly led by women. Slave women

Let's be real they've never read a religious document in their life and would need Chat GPT to tell them about a religion.

Like I said there's no arguing/debating/conversating with people who add no genuine/unfiltered/unbiased thought of their own. Don't expect people who know more about "politicians" then "god" to be of any use.

When I talk with about "free will/atheism" it's like a kid off the street walked into my ashram like, "bro there's no free will prove it!" and they would just point at an entire library wall and go, "There's your answer". Debates going back and fourth for a thousand years between different sects of Buddhism and Hinduism.

Dude' reality is so ABRAHAMIC when someone like me is trying to tell him hey "I was you 15 years ago" this is where you'll find the "truth".

Won't do it.

Can lead a horse to water but can't make an atheist drink.

find an organization of narcissists. glorify their genitals. let them assign for themself titles of royalty (pro nouns). let them run into the streets harassing everyone because they are the ones that are marginalized and oppressed. give them more holidays and days of recognition than every one else combined. and parades a lot of parades.
for these baubles you will have a group of people completely loyal. they will abandon everything they stood for.

This last part is very important.

Joseph Smith died like a coward, which discredits his entire religion, although they tend to do well in modern times
