You can not make this shit up...

Well, you have a couple categories:
1: "This thing's been around forever or is based on something that's been around forever and shares similarities with other known religious groups."
2: "You've gotta be kidding me. Your 'religion' is based on something created in the last 50 years and is clearly centered around monetary gain."

Blues, you really aren't making much of an argument for why fake religions are fake, you know. :P

I thought it was pretty self-explanatory that #2 didn't qualify.

There are, uh, thousands of different "churches" in Brazil that are basically ways to exploit dumb people. They all involve Jesus, yet they're rather different from other religions - I mean, you have to buy your place in heaven, for one.

Pay your tithing or you're going to hell!

Founded by 19-year-old philosophy student, Isaac Gerson, this brand new church believes that copying and the sharing of information is the most beautiful thing in the world. To have your information copied is a token of appreciation, say the church, a sure sign that people think you have done something good.

The church has its own set of axioms [...]
# Reproduction of information is ethically right.

Bold emphasis is mine. Now I've heard of some pretty stupid excuses for why somebody committed plagiarism, but making your own religion so you can deem copying work is part of your faith? That takes the cake right there.

I mean, this is even dumber than when I made up my own religion based around worshiping sentient stars. (It was an April Fool's joke a few years back. A friend and I started preaching it to everyone we saw.)
