If I came up with a religion in which there was no racism, sexism, or homophobia and no hell unless maybe the person was truly deserving, would anyone here follow me? My religion would also not discount any science or other knowledge that has been discovered or will be discovered. Everyone will be welcome and we will all coexist as one community with no conflict.

Oh. Militant Atheism. If someone messes with you, give 'em hell!

Requirements: Must have an understanding of the works of H.P. Lovecraft, must worship Cthulhu, must convert others like Jehovah's witnesses, and consumption of squid and octopus is forbidden.

That's all I got so far. You can add more if you want.

I think I've been a Cthulhuist from the beginning without ever knowing it!! !

if we talk about aspie people having 'obsessions' well my main obsession over the course of many years has been the creation of my own religion which I have now done very successfully for my own purposes

it's called Lovinity which is a portmanteau word combing Love and Infinity

the central tenet of it is the Holy Trinity of Love, Lover and Beloved and the culmination of the religious experience is the Union of the three aspects into one united consciousness

I have ceremonies and prayers, meditations, a system of initiation, music, chanting, sacred texts, a solid theological basis, pretty much everything you need for a religion except anyone else to practice it haha, I'm not very good at that bit, i.e. evangelising etc

essentially I have pursued an intense and committed spiritual life since I was young which has led me to very deep encounters with amongst others Buddhism, Sufism/Islam, Orthodox Christianity as well as range of various hippy, New Age/ quasi-shamanic offerings and more than a passing interest in Judaism/Kabalah although not so much from a practical perspective that last one but from all of that I was never able to find one which I felt entirely at home with so I've evolved my own

anyway there you go, I'm very happy with it, it's beautiful

This is my problem too. I feel like I could come up with a new religion and write my own bible in no time. I just wouldn’t have people to worship with me.

Hi wowiexist
Jesus Christ was not into religion.
Just thought I would point that out.

how do you know what Jesus Christ was into or not into?

as far as his religion goes he was a faithful and practicing Jew, he attended the temple and prayed as other Jews prayed, he was known for his discussions on theological matters with the elders of the synagogue from a young age
