I agree this is going to take a lot of work, but Id really like to be thought of as some sort of divine being. I really want to make this happen.

This is a bigger project than you seem to realize. Think Scientology. Think "sacred texts" and different levels of knowledge for the iniatiates. Rituals, etc. I think a decent religion would take at least a year to create. Few more years for a tax exemption. Also, gotta explain why you get all the chicks. The FSM is just a reductio add absurdum, you need a novel.

Thank you, this is gold.

People love leveling up in things.

Iain Banks had a sweet idea.

have the religon claim that salvation for all requires >50% of humans believe the religon to be true. Adherent must try to convert others and/or kill the non-believers.
