I am just tired of all religions of all types pointing fingers at each other. I would like to propose a religion built on the foundation of all religions that all could follow, unity and balance. Religion is meant to unite us, not to divide us. I want us to realize that we are united because we are all individuals. The truth can be found only when all truths are examined, the fine lining is there. I call it weism. Of course, it would have to be a religion that can't be preverted by "deaf mutes." End the war, let's take religion back to its roots and make it the way is is supposed to be.

FIrst you must start a church or organization. This costs around $45 for the paper work and tax ID number. You will be tax exempt of course. For approx. $75 more you can start your own religion. This is for filing the proper paper work. You will need to be specific about the details of your religion but there are no requirements.

Sure you can start your own religion. Look at L. Ron Hubbard or Anton Levay! But isn't your idea a little like the Bahai faith in being based on multiple existing religions? First you need to cook up your own holy book. You can just cut and paste from other sources for this, like the Satanists Bible. Then you need to recruit some followers. The best places to look are big cities full of lost souls, or college campuses full of young searchers. Hand out your literature to enough people, and sooner or later you will get some live ones!

*points finger jokingly*
The only problem with founding a new religion is that you will be called a pagan or a satanist or some garbage like that. Christianity and other "western" religions don't like their territory being walked all over. Secondly, the problem is getting believers of one kind or another.
Personally speaking a small blurb on Answers isn't enough to convince me to convert to your religion, though mine and yours may be exactly the same and I just don't like the description. Meh. Good luck though, sounds heartfelt and like you actually mean good.

Have you ever checked out Universal Unitarianism? Not that far off. (The one I like to go to includes atheists in the congregation. Hee!)
