L Ron Hubbard (The late, I believe) used to be an SF writer in the 1950's, and around that time, he wrote that the best way to get rich in the USA was to start a religion.

Firstly, you get tax breaks, and secondly you can ask people to send money.

So then we had Dianetics, followed by Scientology (Which is not an "ology" and has nothing to do with science!)

What do you think he believed in?

And his followers? You can't fool all the people all the time, can you?
