It would be dedicated to the belief that you can do whatever you want, as long as it doesn't unreasonably impinge on the freedoms of an unwilling person. All disputes on what's "unreasonable" would be ruled upon by me or one of my deputies.
Services? None.
Books? Eh, maybe. Not mandatory, though. How many ways can you write "it's none of his business what you're doing and none of your business what he's doing"?
Cool clerical regalia? Something reasonably clean.
Hymns? None.
Jewelry? None.
Tithing/offerings: Donations would be cool, but certainly not a must.
Confessions: If you have confession-type issues, talk to a lawyer or shrink. I don't wanna know.
Political leanings: None.
Fellowship and scarfing of fried food? It's fine with me. If it's tasty, please invite me if you want.
My title as leader of Billism would be "Bill." No sense getting grandiose. Yes, I suppose formally that would make me Bill Bill. I'm not formal though.

LizzaBizza: No, prayer is not a tenet of Billism. People should be on notice that I'm not likely to grant prayers, unless it's something I within my power that I felt like doing anyway.
Don't rule yourself out just yet...sing away at whatever church services you want to attend!

Bill Bill:
I like services - and I like to SING at those services (not hymns - but I do like to sing) - so I am not joining. Your philosophy is pretty good though. Still - I don't see anything about prayer. What about prayer? Will there be prayer? Will people pray to you? Hmmmmm.

Will having lot of sex and reciting poetry be allowed? Oh I know this is done in other religions but can we make wine part of Billism. I here wine is good for the arteries.

Sounds nice, but by ignoring other religions, you put yourself at risk of being murdered. Here's a great quote for an awesome movie:
Boondock Saints:
"there is another kind of evil which we must fear most, and that is the indifference of good men."

I had a Pomerainian puppy I named Bill, the first time he came when I called a car hit him and killed him. I loved that puppy but he didn't understand the concept of covering ones *** and died teaching me that my love can be as distructive as hate when given to others with strings attached. Which makes me wonder what lesson you will teach inadverdantly.

Religion is something which is progressively revealed by God to humankind. Humans are powerless to create religions.
