How To Start a Religion 101

[metaphorge]

So, discussion on my previous post concerning Scientology is making me fantasize about a textbook for the How to Start Your Own Religion textbook, with methodology, case studies, etc.

Unfortunately, if someone wrote such a book it would probably inadvertently start a religion... well, if it were any good, anyway.

Also, hi, Blogging, this is Fox. Remember me? ;)

That's what I thought the Maybelogic online discussion/course on "Running Your Own Cult" was supposed to be. Didn't quite work out that way.

If you ever write that textbook: having started my own religion (in collaboration with others), and gone through our first major schism relatively unscathed, if you need some case studies, let me know, and I'll be happy to lend whatever help I can!

BTW, will you be at PantheaCon?
