Creating a New Religion
There are many different religions in the world, Christian, Jewish, Buddhism, Muslim, to name but a few. There are also thousands of Denominations, for each of the religions, for example The Christian religion has Protestant, Catholic, Jehovah's Witness, Mormon and over 900 others that we know of.
The thing about religion is that until we are dead we have no undeniable proof that anything is true or false or if there really is an afterlife, therefore if you were to create a religion of your own, no one could ever prove that what you are preaching is complete and utter cod's wallop.
Starting your own Religion
The first thing to think about is what will your religion be, will it be a new denomination of an existing religion, or will it be a brand new religion, with a brand new God or even an idol for your followers to worship,
Once you have decided that, it is a simple step to move on to naming your religion, for this example we will use hubpages as the religion and Paul the Holy Father,
And on the 10th of November 2007 Hubbism is born
Register your religion
The next step would be to register your religion with the government, this is a step that legalises your religion and gives you the reward of many tax benefits which should help your religion prosper when the money from your flock starts coming in.
Your Church
What better a place to start a new religion, than on the World Wide Web, with the chance of followers from all over the world, you could be the first religious leader to ever start up from your own bedroom, or on the sofa in front of the TV with your laptop perched on your knees, why go out and meet your followers when you can preach to them in the comfort of your own home. And the true bonus is that no one need ever know your true identity.
Your Bible
This is the difficult part of the process, coming up with a story that people will believe, do you write your bible or do you make it up as you go along, I personally would choose the second option and if I made a mistake and contradicted myself, I would tell people to look at any other religion there are many contradictions in every religion.
In the beginning Paul and his disciples created the hub, and the hub took over the World Wide Web, the Holy Father Paul and his disciples quickly spread the word of the hub and have a list of followers that grows every day. In the name of the Holy Father Paul amen.
Religious Days and Holidays
As the creator of your own religion you get to choose the day that you Worship your God, I personally would choose, Monday because that is the day of the week most of us hate, which means that you couldn't go into work on Mondays because in your religion that is the Sabbath day.
Choose your own holidays too, wouldn't you prefer your version of Christmas to be in the summer months, when you can chill out and relax in the sun and enjoy the time off. It's your religion you choose what you want to celebrate when you want.
Monetising your Religion
To keep your Religion going you will need money, there are many ways to make money from your followers, you could use a program like Google adsense and run advertising on your church website, you could sell religious, icons and eBooks that you have hastily produced, you could even sell T-shirts or other items with your religious logo on them.
PayPal is another option asking your flock to make donations through a PayPal account can be effective.
There you have it now you know how why don't you give it a go, In the name of the Holy Father Paul.....Amen

Not bad
When I saw the title of the HUB my reaction was why would anyone want to start a new religion? We have too many already. However, knowing Jimmy is I read the entire Hub and found the answer to my question at the end!!
I love this idea. I tried to start my own religion. i couldn't even get my family to attend;)
funny you should mention this Jimmy, I work here in the US for a rally (as in Subaru) park and we just bought an old bus which belonged to a church of some sort. I was looking at it in the sunlight and thought ... oh I must sticker it up and call it....the church of the Latter Day Rally CarsRegardsDrax
I wouldn't belong to any religion that would have me...Including my own!
Uff... too much work (and that is against my religio!) I will keep myself as a solitary practitioner!
Seriously, when Jesus came, he did not come to establish a religion. Religion is really a man made establishment. Christianity is supposed to be a way of life. You people really give me good ideas for hubs. I think I will do a hub on Religon. Thanks jimmythejock
Great I didn't know how to :
"Writing for a penny a word is ridiculous. If a man really wants to make a million dollars, the best way would be to start his own religion"
L. Ron Hubbard, 1940, quoted in Reader's Digest 1980
Awe, you forgot the best part, learning how to pick out the weak from the crowd and talking them into becoming conversion machines so you won't have to pass out any more lame pamphlets yourself...
I like the ideas.The best religon would be a mix of all those already there.It should have an overal meaninig of love and reconciliation..........I know the more one gives the more love comes back and we must all try to be honest with ourselves................there can be no hell only a complete or incomplete happines when we leave this planet for good. Complete happiness could only be achieved when we become selfless.A period of loss would be necessary to receive enlightonment depending on our life.God bless everyone
Hahahaha very witty Jimmy. Love this hub. :-) As to creating my own religion...that's too headachy. I prefer to empower people and help them create great ripples wherever and whatever state of life they are in.
Hahahah very witty Jimmy :-) As for creating a new religion--nah! That's too headachy! I prefer to empower people and let them create ripples of their own wherever and whatever state of life they are in.
first you need to forgate present religion and believes. practiclly its to hard. otherwise find some philosopher.
By the way you DO NOT have to register with the government if you live in The United States. If you choose to you will receive major tax breaks and the ability to accept CHARITABLE DONATIONS. However, you can accept donations ,but you must notify donors that it is non charitable and you must report it as income.
