I don't know much about him. But heard someone say he was

Absolutely !!!!
He made a whole religion up from a poem by Rabellais ( the abbey of Thelema-- do what thou will shall be the whole of the law) as a tongue in cheek thing, he was an entertainer, loved to shock and always got the results. He wrote really bad poetry, yet people hung on his every word. A serial womaniser, he funded his publications, travelled to the places he wanted to go to and made himself famous, not for his poetry or fiction writing, which was dire, but for being the most evil man in the world. Negative attention was better than no attention. He still got to be more famous than those who slandered and criticised him.

Crowley became right into a Genius. And a loopy Drug addict. And between the main forward questioning adult males of the age. He became right into a undercover agent, a mountaineer, a grasp placed on Artist, mediocre poet, a great novellist, a real wit, an anarchist, in the truest experience of the be conscious, probably the suitable Englishman because of the fact William Blake, a Mystic, a charlatan, a manipulator par-excellance, extremely, a guy without concern, and at anybody time, all, and not one of the above. And his final words, "i'm puzzled", probably the suitable final words ever.

Like any religious creator, he was charismatic, a bit of an entertainer, a bit of a power-seeker.
I don't know if that makes him a genius. I also don't know how psychoanalysts would rate him. But I don't know that about any other prophet or quasi-prophet throughout history. It would all basically be speculation.
If you're only looking to religions for something novel or entertaining, then you may find genius in the creativity of these contrivances, but if you're looking anything deeper from religion, be careful, you're open to being taken advantage of.

He Filled a niche for another brand of religions wacko's. I think of him as the Other OTHER white meat.
What if R.L. Stine started a religion... Would he be a genius?

Technically...yes, but that's not something people like to admit. The man was also insane. I believ he was bored and found himself deep in something he could no longer control.
