Raëlians, Raelians
Founder: Claude Vorilhon (1946 - )
Raëlians follow a belief system established in 1974 by the French racing-car journalist Claude Vorilhon. Vorilhon claims that in 1973 he was visited by a 4-foot humanoid alien who took him aboard its spaceship and told him that a race known as the Elohim, "our fathers in space," wanted Vorilhon to be their messenger to the human race.
These Elohim were responsible for the creation of a multitude of human religions, but now they wanted to "set the record straight" and inform humanity about their true origins. Past religious leaders - including Moses, Jesus, Muhammad and Buddha - had been informed about the truth, but the message had been perverted and distorted over and over. According to Vorilhon, who adopted the new name of Raël, these aliens created the human species through genetic engineering some 50,000 years ago.Vorilhon was also to establish an embassy for them here on Earth - he proceeded to do just that, determined to help humanity learn about the Elohim's message of peace, tolerance, love of science, and sexual freedom.
Followed by around 50,000 people in 84 countries (mostly in France, Quebec and Japan), this is essentially an atheistic religion - there are no actual gods and, apparently, no supernatural beings of any kind. Instead, it is centered around the veneration of alien beings. Nevertheless, traditional religious language is employed quite frequently. In addition to the alien Elohim, there is also a cadre known as the Order of Angels. These are women who have agreed to become sexual mates for the Elohim when they arrive. Not just the Elohim, however - these women will also mate with the prophets, which includes Rael. Vorilhon argues that the women are under no pressure to sleep with him because, after all, his group teaches sexual freedom anyway.

Dude, they're psychos.
But anyways, I think the leader is still in court for tax evasion.
