How can I create my own religion and get followers?
you can't, never
you know, even you can say something to make followers, you're not gonna make it because only God who can make a religion, he's the King can create a religion and human who will be the followers

You have to first explain what your religion is all about. Next, create a blog surrounding and explaining the practices of said religion. Start fundraisers I suppose. Just do what you can to work it out. Something tells me though that starting a religion isn't just like starting a business.


Or, maybe it is. I'm not sure. I don't know. I don't want to start a religion.

Guess you have to start with you Bitcoin guys as your audience. Good idea then would be to promote using signature campaigns. Well they are a hit arent they. Lol just kidding. I think it all begins with a philosophy. If people start to imbibe your vision, then i guess you have yourself a religion of your own.
This actually reminds me of an episode of the Simpsons where I believe Homer was trying to start some gimmik religion about praising a famous singer. Hehe. He basically went the same exact route I'm suggesting here. Just preach about your views. If you find people that support it, that's how you start a religion.

I suggest you create the THOUSAND-BTC religion, where you would give one thousand BTC to each new follower. I'll pray for you each and every day after that, and I would always talk about you with much respect.

Do you really want to start your own religion? Bernie has the best and safest way. Contact him at his contact points here https://apeacefulsolution.wordpress.com/. This site shows you some details about how, but the nitty gritty lies in you and at least one other person getting together and simply agreeing that you have a religious society going.

Since everyone has religion, you have your own religion already. If you are trying to make it big, like becoming a TV evangelist or something, you need protection. Do it the right way. Contact Bernie.

I was wondering why you want to create your own religion. Is there a problem with what you are in right now? I believe so if you want to do so you can start by studying people's thoughts over their religion and why are they so devoted. There are some instances that they may say to whom they really believe in..

The last thing this worlds needs is a new religion. However I may be wrong and the religion you create will be the best religion ever. )

Then here's my advice: study all existing religions and make a good mix of them throwing out all the violence and bad attitude towards unbelievers.

Take it from a normal person who speaks eloquently, you can touch your listeners as long as your words are senseful and practical. And it must be precise to what a listner should experience.

That is what i noticed as a bystander watching this voters listen.

So basically you only wanted to create one to earn money?..
If thats your motivation on creating a religion then you wont get any followers...
First read bible or what ever holy books you can get so you can have references on how you will talk to your followers...

its mostly what religion is for though. do you think God don't ask money?
look around and how much money priest are getting every month. some of them even have lots of wives.
not to mention Joseph Smith who marry kids.  Shocked

Well, if being serious about creating your own religion, you'd better start from reading works on religious studies to understand what are the main aspects of any religion, how religion influences one's life etc. Then you may read a bit about different tribal religions. It's easier to analyze them than widespread ones. Then you formulate your main ideas and try gathering people to talk about them. Together you may write The Book of your religion. Congrats! You did it

really?how can you said that religion is a great business these days? is in your town so many religion?i never think that religion can give us some money.
and definately you can crete your own religion,only god can do that.

When you compare the definition of the word "religion" with what atheism is, you find that atheism fits the definition of religion. God didn't create the religion of atheism. Mankind did that, at the prompting of the devil.

honest, trustworthy, never lie, do not be mean, never hurt any person, have a clear vision.
for me religion isn't a game, is serious relationship with our God.

Well said most of the common men have the same thinking. Now some started to promote
their business through religion which eventually got converted as people considering religion
itself as a business for their daily living with much comfort.

The first thing you need to recognize is, you are your own religion. Now all you have to do is formalize it to get followers.

If you don't recognize that the things you value as sacred are important, you will not be able to convince followers.

If you feel you need a personal religion more dynamic than what you believe right now, you better change your beliefs before you start promoting.

If you make as your promoted religion something you don't believe in, people will see through you... maybe not at first, but sooner or later. Some of them will not be happy with you. Some might be downright antagonistic.

Thanks to everyone for the tips and information.  Grin

In my country the churches do not pay taxes. And it is much cheaper to start a church for less than 1 BTC you can register the documents of the church and do not need a minimal amount of followers.

Many churches are used for tax evasion purposes of taxes and money laundering.

Churches are also used by political groups as electoral corrals and to persecute minorities. Angry

i dont understand this thing.. why dont churches or any other prayer halls pay any taxes? can anybody explain this to me please ?

Why you just indicating churches alone, mosques were also have the same tax free regulation. Whats the need to start a new religion?,
To start a religion initially followers had to be set and with that followers you can spread by creating rumors as well giving ads.

It depends on the country. It's a privilege inherated from Midle Age customs.

But in decent and civilized countries as France they do pay taxes though :3

But not a lot as they're all more or less associations.

Buy big house.
Create some new theology, mixing many spiritual teachings and ideas.
Start sharing your ideas, learn how to inspire people...
Start collecting church tithing.
I think you can even find book about this subject Smiley


Yeah it's called Mein Kampf, the idea is to make millions of people believe your Bullshit :p

Considering the fact that all we know about the world might be also bull* with a certain probability I don't see how is that different from what is written in any of the religious books. So if someone will start a new religion I don't think we really have a right to state "All he's saying is a bull*".

EARTHALON IS YOUR GOD..tell the truth fact and science
The heaven story when we die..
This is how you tell it..we might go to heaven and no one knows.

If there is an afterlife and you grow with hate then why would something want to invite you there
would you invite such a thing into your own home?..end of the heaven story

base your religion around the earth because it did create life ..how to do good by the earth and your fellow man and woman
FACTS NOT BULLSHIT..see where in the 21st century and my kids are too smart to believe in fairy tales
and I am sure the next generation will be even smarter.

That is a picture of Jim Jones, he built a cult of followers and moved them to Guyana where they were all led to their death by drinking cyanide-laced Kool-Aid. The whole story is pretty interesting, there have been several films based on it, Powers Boothe portrayed Jones in the main one I've seen - Guyana Tragedy: The Story of Jim Jones.



i have never heart this before.. this case was tragic and at the same time sarcastic.. but what made these people do this stupid thing to their life ? this must be investigated ...

It's a fucked up thing to do, especially for the reasons you listed.  But if you want to start a religion for fun, profit, and getting head then you ought to see how L. Ron Hubbard did it with Scientology, as was mentioned a few posts up.  He did it big and the fucking thing is successful (depending on your standards) to this day.  He was a good salesman and he had imagination, and those two things made him successful.  And he was a fucking degenerate scumbag as well, so if you don't possess that characteristic then forget about it.

Good luck to you.  Don't be a cunt.

Create multiple threads viewed by 100s of 1000s here, first. Convert everyone contributing to your threads. Set a goal with them. Make them pay for your temple, via patreon or kickstarter

That's it.

 Cool



Ahah!

Not sure Religion would have a great success here though.

We already have the great BTC God with his son Satoshi Wink

Its like selling hope to your audience and if you can make them buy that, sure you can ask for the 10% of their earnings every month.
thats how profitable this business is when infact. the mention of tithes was only on the old testament. the new testament didn't mention of this 10%.

the new testament says "each one must give as he decided in his heart not reluctantly or under compulsion" Smiley

I don'think that is good to create a religion.for a business. You have to belive in.something, for some reason and make other people beleive too. Otherwise, that's not very moral. But that is just my opinion..

You would be amazed at the number of businesses and scams that are disguised as religious in order to get tax exemptions...

You could try convincing people that you found a magic golden book, and that you put a magic rock in a magic hat, which translates the magic golden book for you...

No wait, the Mormons already did that...


Let's see... You could write some fantastic story about an ancient space alien who tied all his enemies to volcanoes then blew them up with nuclear bombs...

Shit, that's Scientology...

Hmm... Seems like all the good ideas have already been taken Shocked

That depends. If in your country you can apply for a tax relief if you make donations to a church, and such donations are tax free then you can turn up with any sort of bullshit, just make every believer a priest who can accept donations Smiley.

If the tax situation isn't that bright, then you really have to find out something what can comfort people, but distant, misty, difficult to understand and also difficult to prove or disprove. Also good if you can define an enemy, but don't make it too specific otherwise you can run out of enemies, or if you make a wrong choice you can get your ass kicked by that other group. Promises. Promises are important. As if you aren't after tax relief, most of your believers will be a bunch of losers, so you really have to promise something what they want, but can't achieve in this world (e.g. 72 virgins seems to be a popular reward). You also have to position your religion on the market. Unless you have some plantations or mines you don't really want to go for the poorest. So target your ideology, promises and rewards for the upper working and mid classes.

Creating your own religion would be easy, just write some stuff down in order to opress people/genders/age groups you dont like, add some sort of heaven and hell concept and write down how you want everybody to live their lives.
Since you're on a bitcoin forum, create a vanityaddres like 1IAmYourOnlyGodPayMe9999999 and make a tax of 25% mandatory.
See if your country gives tax breaks to religions Wink

As for getting followers, maybe a signature campaign on bitcointalk.org Wink
Afterwards, as the pope of your own religion, fill your pockets and do all other kinds of things you want to do

Just do whatever you want but do it consistently, never change a single thing in the way you are doing this, never change the way you are. And when asked "Why are you doing this?" say "God told me so". Spread the information about what you are doing through internet so millions can see it and you'll get followers, I'm sure.

LOL xD

Well that's a good question! It all depends about where you live.
In some countries there is still a mandatory tax for religions so you just have to be officially recognized by the state.
Otherwise the problem is to be able to be recognized as a religion and not a sect. And to be honest I don't know the official difference :/

In the past there were people who managed to let people believe they are a kind of miracle. Not something all people can do you have to be a great talker and people need to get inspired there are some story's about some big sects in past and future. Also some big horror story's. Not something I want to keep me busy with.
