Of course. ALL religions are made up.

Yes. No one religion is for everyone, and some people find that none of the existing established religions meet their needs, so they form their own. Unitarian Universalists even have programs dedicated to this. They're called "Building Your Own Theology."

Read Peter Shaffer's play _Equus_ (or rent the movie). In it a young man comes to worship Equus, the Horse God. It's a brilliant play.

Everyone creates to one extent or another his or her own religion (or philosophy of life, if you prefer) regardless how indoctrinated one might be into a certain dogma. Each person develops a personal relationship with whatever deity he/she worships or inner voice with whom he or she communicates. Even Atheism is a religion of sorts as it requires a Belief in the nonexistence of a god. It would surely be a rare person who would never in his or her life consider the meaning of life beyond the bounds of a fundamental religion, thereafter arriving upon a unique view of the divine or its lack within the Cosmos...

MANY PEOPLE have done so. There are people who study withchcraft. There are those who study satan and demonic things. There are also Denominations who claim to follow Christ all over this world. Most of them are nothing like what Jesus' Apostles saw in the First Century Church that was built on the Blood of our Savior. HIS CHURCH follows the examples and commands of the New TEstament to the best of their ability without making changes to suit their own needs. Have a great day.

Yes. In a sense, each person does this in the way they live their life. What is important to you? To what do you devote your attention? Of what are you aware? That is your relgion.
