Summary, there are many variations:
The shell game is usually a con game that requires the sucker to choose under which shell a pea is hidden.
For more complete explanation:

Bible based religions generally require a person (the sucker) to correctly choose under which shell (cult, denomination, religion) the pea (salvation) is hidden.
And Bible based religions are promoted much the same way shell games are promoted, e.g., "give me your money (time, effort, support, dedication, etc.) and I'll give you salvation."
How are Bible based religions any different in practice than a shell game?
